Brown County Commissioners Court members approved an application from IP Radian LLC the company that lost its bid for a tax abatement to build a solar farm project to install water lines on county roads 186, 187 and 188.
“They’re trying to figure a way to go ahead with their solar project,” Precinct 1 Commissioner Gary Worley said at Monday s commissioners court meeting.
Brown County Judge Paul Lilly posted earlier on his Facebook page that IP Radian is going on with the solar farm near Brookesmith, even though commissioners earlier voted down creating a reinvestment zone for the project. The vote denying the reinvestment zone meant it was not possible to consider approving a tax abatement.
Collin County Judge Chris Hill sent constituents a letter last week denouncing a recent protest in which he said demonstrators blocked a Plano intersection. .

Brown County Commissioners Court members will have their 9 a.m. Monday meeting at the Adams Street Community Center in anticipation of a large crowd in attendance.
According to the meeting agenda, commissioners will conduct a public hearing, then take a vote on a tax abatement agreement with IP Radian for a proposed solar farm project near Brookesmith. It was clear from the regular meetings, where we didn t have this on the agenda, that it was standing room only, Brown County Judge Paul Lilly said, referring to the citizens comments portions of earlier commissioners court meetings. We wanted a place that seated 100 or more comfortably.
