Proposed solar project discontinued

Feb. 28—LOGAN COUNTY — A proposed solar energy project in Logan County will not come to fruition. Open Road Renewables announced Friday that the Grange Solar Grazing Center will not be constructed as it is withdrawing its application to the Ohio Power Siting Board for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility. According to a release from the company, this decision came in light of a recommendation from the OPSB staff to deny that application. Open Road Renewables Vice President Doug Herling said in a statement that the decision to withdraw was difficult given that the company worked to ensure that "all legitimate concerns about the project were addressed." "Unfortunately, some community members were swayed by fears that were entirely unfounded," he said in the statement. Herling also said that his company will continue to work to promote solar power as part of the state's energy production. Featured Local Savings
