Spencer County Indiana

On 7-16-24 Spencer County Commissioners Discuss AEP & Solar. Details mentioned involve 4,500 acres of land owned by AEP and the fear of lost tax revenue when they quit using coal.

During this meeting held on May 20, 24 the Town Board discussed moving all of the town's money from the only local bank (located right next door) due to conflicts between town employees and bank employees. While present at this meeting, the bank president admitted, if Grandview pulls their money out, the bank would have to "revisit" their plans and decide if they would keep the bank in this town or not.

Board meeting where they discussed ways to strengthen their commercial wind ordinance and utilize many of the same guidelines that have been in place to regulate the commercial solar ordinance.

Special Board meeting where they discussed the current Clerk/Treasurer resigned and appointed Donna Burrows a former Clerk/Treasure that resigned over 2 years ago, but has still been getting paid during that time, because it has taken her that long to train someone to take her place? Since I am an outsider, I don't know if Donna is that incompetent as a trainer or if she just doesn't want to relinquish control of the town's finances. Especially since I was recently informed she wanted to remove almost $ two million of the town's money, from the bank next door and have the it placed in an out of town bank, because the local bank foreclosed on her son's home. Maybe it is time to get someone from the state to start investigating the finances of the town!!!

Board meeting where they discussed using an out of town bank instead of the local bank next door, per the request from a former Secretary Treasures that still tries to run the town They also had a guest propose building a historical project for locals and tourists.

This video displays a small section of the East side of Hwy 545 during the construction of a Commercial Solar Project in August of 2020. Part of it displays the concrete BASE of a pad that will support a substation tower that will allow them to transport electricity across the highway. That mini-substation is located RIGHT NEXT to a home with young children and dogs. Would YOU live next door to this? How much would you pay for this house, compared to a similar house that is NOT surrounded by solar panels and a sub-station?

Board meeting where they would not second a motion to prevent board members from laughing at, making fun of or insult members of the public that come to the town hall or board meetings. They also refused to allow one party from the audience, speak. That party was married to one of the board members that has had conflicts with other board members.

Video from August 9, 2020 of the construction of a commercial Solar Project on former farmland. This video displays the south side of County Road 950 and the west side of State Hwy 545, BEFORE the farmland was totally destroyed by removing a lot of top soil, in order to install solar panels, rock, concrete and wires.

Video of ONE SMALL section of the Troy Indiana Industrial Solar Project, after removing top soil, in order to install solar panels. It takes from 500 to 1,000 years to replace all the nutrients in the top 1" of top soil. So, this is great example of taxpayer money being used to destroy our cropland.
