Preserve Rural Lancaster County
Why should we stop the Merry Point Solar & Battery Project
The Merry Point Solar Project should be stopped because it threatens the rural landscape of Lancaster County, Virginia.
What are the potential impacts of this project?
The Merry Point Solar Project could have negative impacts on the environment, local agriculture, and the community. It may disrupt wildlife habitats and pollute our waterways.
How can we protect Lancaster County’s rural character?
We can protect Lancaster County’s rural character by opposing the Merry Point Solar Project and advocating for sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship and protections for our waterways. Solar Farms can be good – but NOT at the head waters of the Western Branch of the Corrotoman – STOP Merry Point Solar and change the setback regulations to tidal waters from 250 ft to 3/4 of a mile like other nearby counties.
How can I get involved in stopping the Merry Point Solar Project
You can get involved in stopping the Merry Point Solar Project by joining local advocacy groups, attending public hearings and contacting elected officials.
