For your consideration, 

I am in favor of amending Chapter 688 of the 2022 Acts of Assembly. 

The inclusion of agricultural and forested lands for consideration of solar projects opens up more access to clean energy in Virginia. Reviewing these lands for any adverse effects caused by this project is also important as it ensures a more limited impact. The requirement of a mitigation program for adverse effects is fair. The allotment of a 45-day comment period will also permit citizens in the area a chance to share any concern with the project. 

Thank you, 

Morgan Ralph
