Dawsonville Council approves solar panel grant application, holds public hearing for rezoning request
At the March 1 meeting of the Dawsonville City Council, members allowed city staff to move forward with a solar power grant application and held a public hearing for a rezoning request.
Council members heard a presentation from Finance Administrator Robin Gazaway and City Manager Bob Bolz on the city’s efforts to apply for a solar power grant from the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA).
According to Gazaway, city staff have a plan to put solar panels on the roof of City Hall, as well as at the city’s wastewater treatment facility, using funds from a GEFA grant worth up to $200,000.
