Public Hearing
The Fairfield Township Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the addition of a Compatible Renewable Energy Ordinance (CREO). Public Act 233 of 2023 generally preempted local siting control of certain utility-scale renewable energy facilities (solar, wind and battery storage facilities), and shifted it to the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC), which goes into effect Nov. 29, 2024. The Public Act preempts local ordinance which contain rules more restrictive than those set forth in the Public Act. The hearing will begin at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at the Township Fire Hall, 9965 Brown St, Weston. A copy of the proposed ordinance can be reviewed at the Township Office at 1023 Pine St in Jasper. The purpose of the hearing is to allow the public to comment on the addition of this ordinance to the Fairfield Township Zoning Ordinance.
Written protests/comments can be sent to Planning Commission, 1023 Pine St, Jasper, MI 49248 prior to December 4. For more information call 517-436-6400.
