Aldermen voted 10-1 Tuesday night to protest the proposal along the west side of Barnes Road, north of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks, in Sugar Grove Township.
The city of Aurora will protest a planned solar farm proposed for an unincorporated pocket near the city’s far West Side.
The city already has five such subdivisions west of Orchard Road that fit that category, and this is in line with those, officials have said.“I support solar farms and clean energy, but this property is not the right location,” said Ald. Michael Saville, 6th Ward. “We spent a lot of time on this estate zoning designation.”
The lone vote against filing the protest was Ald. John Laesch, at large, who called it “an excellent use of the land.”
