Legislation completely eliminating ALL local authority over where utility wind and and solar energy facilities can build in your township is expected to be introduced shortly in the state Legislature. The legislation would move control over these large, utility-scale renewable energy projects from the local level to the state. MTA strongly opposes any efforts to silence the voices of local officials and residents over issues that have very real, long-lasting and impactful effects in their communities. To help us better advocate for you, please provide MTA with the following information as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance.
