Impact analysis
A cancellation fee of about $237,000 paid by the applicant; no general fund impact.
Valley Clean Energy customers get local renewable power, and the applicant gains time to finalize agreements.
Agricultural land is permanently converted out of production on the southern 100 acres, mitigated by a conservation easement.
