Otisville Solar Project
Genesee County
Description
A roughly 2,000-acre solar project now before the state under PA 233, which overrode the townships' stricter local solar ordinances. The county just voted to intervene in the state review on behalf of Forest and Thetford Townships.
Impact summary
If built, it would take thousands of acres of prime farmland out of agriculture while powering an estimated 30,000 homes — but critics note battery storage, fencing, and fire-service demands would spill beyond township lines.
