A special exception application for a 20-megawatt utility scale solar energy facility in Deltaville failed to get approval of the Middlesex Board of Supervisors.
On Tuesday, June 3, following a four-hour public hearing, the board was split, 2-2, on the motion to approve the special exception. A tied vote means the motion failed.
The unusual tied vote was due to the fact Pinetop District supervisor Randy Crittenden, who represents Deltaville and the eastern end of the county, recused himself from participating or voting on the special exception request, which is in his district.
Jamaica District Supervisor Wayne Jessie and Harmony Grove Supervisor Reggie Williams voted to approve the special exception, while Saluda District Supervisor Don Harris and Hartfield District Supervisor Bill Harris voted against.
