Weekly Blast!: Last week the scheduled notifications for the Weekly Blast were not sent due to a problem with our website provider. You must refer to our website to read last week’s news, which was posted but not notified. We apologize for any inconvenience. On Tuesday, the Town of Grant Board in collaboration with our Plan Commission held two public hearings. The first regarded two changes to our Comprehensive Plan: the solar overlay map and accompanying rationale. Changes included the final mapped delineations of Portage Solar LLC and Vista Sands Solar, and one brief paragraph describing status. The second public hearing included changes to our Zoning Ordinance re: data centers. At this writing they would be denied in every zoning district. There would be the creation of a “floating zone” titled industrial 2 should there be an interested party. Following, they would have to request a zoning change which would require public hearings at the town and county levels. In other words, unlike solar projects 100MW or greater where we, the Town did not have a say at the local level, in the case of a potential data center, the Town would indeed have knowledge of data center prospectors and the ability to deny or permit such an industry. Please tip your hat to the T. Grant Plan Commission members Jodi Lomma, Jeanne Eggebrecht, Kathy Lee, and Tom Reitter who worked proactively and swiftly on this critical zoning change. Glad we got some rain. Enjoy a bit of respite from the heat this weekend, Sharon
