The developers of a solar farm in Clarion County have received preliminary approval of their land use application.
The Clarion County Planning Commission gave its approval last week to Glidepath Ventures to construct a solar farm in Licking Township.
The plan proposes construction of the solar farm on three parcels of land that total 312.424 acres in size.
Access to the site will be made by utilizing and improving the existing access from Route 58 that is located on the Byler parcel.
The property line setbacks all exceed 40 feet around the perimeter of the site, which will also be totally enclosed by chain link fence eight feet in height.
Two temporary lay down areas will be used for equipment storage during construction.
The Clarion Conservation District has approved the erosion and sedimentation control plan. Wetland areas within the project won’t be disturbed.
The planning commission said no modification applications are being requested or appear needed.
