Hold sPower accountable !
Concerned Citizens of Spotsylvania County ("CCSC") is maintaining vigilance on the sPower solar center, in order to hold sPower accountable to the terms of the Special Use Permit approaved by the Board of Supervisors.

CCSC efforts to monitor the sPower projects
A Utah based company, sPower, has been approved by the Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors for three Special Use Permits to build a massive, 6,350-acre solar "farm", right in the middle of historic Spotsylvania ... amid its homes, schools, farms (real "farms"), battlefields, and designated "Agricultural and Forest" lands.
That will be 10-square miles in size. Half the size of Manhattan.
That's not a "farm", its a massive industrial-scale power plant complex.
To date, the Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors has been lax in its oversight efforts. Concerned Citizens is filling the void to ensure that the county staff and Board hold sPower accountalbe to the restrictions included in the Special Use Permits.

For those who live in the Livingston District ... check out how much of our "forestal" lands will be ravaged.
The proposed solar "farm" would consume approximately 70% of the Agricultural / Forestal lands in our district.
