A McCracken County board isn’t moving on their denial of a permit for a solar farm until they hear more about a reported economic development project reportedly contingent on the solar farm moving forward.

A McCracken County board is meeting next week to reconsider a conditional use permit for a proposed $60 million solar farm — what would be the county’s first ever — after the board denied the solar project such a permit earlier this month.

Plans to build the first solar farm in McCracken County hit a snag as the county board of adjustment denied a conditional use permit to allow the project to proceed.

A website indicates the Henderson County Solar project would be located on 541 acres along the Kentucky 425/South Bypass and nearby Lover’s Lane.
