Proposed Project
- Photovoltaic (PV) solar power generation facility in Cumberland County, Virgina that will turn energy from the sun’s rays into clean, economical and emission-free electricity.
- The planned Project site is located north of Columbia Road (Route 590) and east of Boston Hill Road (Route 605) in Northeastern Cumberland County in the Cartersville community.
- $175 million privately funded infrastructure improvement which will create millions of dollars in new revenue for Cumberland County over the life of the project.
- The Project will use panels that tilt to follow the sun, ensuring the Project is generating the maximum amount of energy each day.
- Operation is quiet with no pollution and infrequent site activity once built.
- The site will be surrounded by a wildlife-friendly perimeter fence and tree buffers to block most lines of sight, in accordance with the county solar ordinance.
