Stockton residents voted Tuesday to have a say in future developments.

To me, this solar farm is a $350 million investment in Baldwin County that will provide over $50 million in property taxes alone. That will provide all citizens of Baldwin County with more funding for schools, roads, parks, and other county-wide services.

Conservation that a landowner chooses is one thing. Conservation forced by political pressure is a different animal entirely, and pretending otherwise is how we lose the plot.

The developers of a proposed solar facility in Stockton met with community members Wednesday to discuss plans for the 4,500-acre site.

Silicon Ranch responded to State Rep. Matt Simpson’s (R-Daphne) proposal to put a moratorium on solar facilities and give county commissions zoning options.

The company proposing a 2,000-acre solar facility in Stockton will hold a public community meeting to address concerns.

Our goal is simple: to make sure Stockton and Baldwin County benefit from what we bring – whether it’s the capital we invest, the taxes we pay, the charitable contributions we make, the jobs we create, the local businesses we support, the energy we produce, or the agricultural products we raise on our land.

The developer of a planned solar facility in Stockton said the project will move forward despite community pushback.
