A series of public hearings will be held on October 23, at 1 p.m. in the Summerlin Meeting Room of the Henry County Administration Building, on Kings Mountain Road in Collinsville. The hearings will provide an opportunity for residents to offer input on two proposed Special Use Permits for Large Scale Solar Energy Facilities.

The proposed property is located on the east side of Meadowood Trail, approximately 1.2 miles north of Preston Road in the Horsepasture District. The applicant wants to develop a 4-megawatt solar facility on 27 acres of a 92-acre parcel.
The property is currently zoned Agricultural District A-1.
