The Challenge

A 300 MWac utility-scale solar project offered more than $50 million in long-term local tax revenue—but it faced vocal opposition from landowners concerned about agricultural preservation, visual impacts, and community identity. Despite the project’s economic promise, permitting approval was at risk due to growing NIMBY sentiment, misinformation, and lack of familiarity with utility-scale solar in the region.

Our Mission
To overcome skepticism and resistance by building authentic relationships with community stakeholders, reframing the narrative around shared economic and civic benefits, and ultimately securing the local approvals required to move the project forward.
