PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS
Private property rights are a pillar of our democracy. Whether you want to put up a new barn, raise pigs or plant corn, landowners can choose to do what they want with their personal private property as long as it’s consistent with local zoning. This includes leasing or selling land to be used as part of an innovate solar project.
Solar energy provides local farmers with a stable source of income during times of low crop prices while also protecting land for future generations. The income received from the solar project will allow landowners to continue farming their land and, when the project is decommissioned, the land will be restored to its pre-existing condition to allow future generations to continue to farm.
Renewable energy projects will create hundreds of jobs and pump much needed tax revenue into the community to support police and fire, schools, roads and community services.
