Getting Solar Benefits While Preserving Quality of Life

Douglas County, KS & Johnson County, KS are both being approached by energy companies with potential proposals for massive Industrial Utility-Scale Solar and Lithium-ion Battery Storage Facilities.  Although utility-scale solar facilites could provide clean energy, they could also degrade the quality of life for hundreds of area residents and negatively impact agriculture, wildlife, existing businesses and long-term economic growth.

Please add your name, thoughts and opinions below to urge Douglas & Johnson County Commissioners to safeguard area residents, agriculture, wildlife, businesses and long-term economic growth while accommodating the need for responsibly sited, designed and monitored Industrial Utility-Scale Solar Facilities.

CLICK HERE to view an aerial map of just one proposed Utility-Scale Solar Facility project site that energy company NextEra has been working on securing ground leases for over the last 3 years. The map also displays homes that are 0 – <1 mile from this particular site. This project alone would turn 3,000+ acres of agriculturally zoned land into Industrial Utility-Scale Solar. The massive footprint of these projects will impact our communities in many ways.  How do you feel about these types of industrial projects around populated areas?

Your contact information in the form below will only be shared with Douglas County, KS and Johnson County, KS elected Commissioners, appointed Planning Board Members and Planning Staff. Your contact information will NEVER be shared with any other parties.

Your first name only, last initial, county and comments portion ONLY of your submission may be shared with the public.
