Tallgrass development solar project review agreements
Commissioners will consider approving agreements that would allow legal and technical experts to help review documents for the proposed Tallgrass Development solar project.
The proposed $275 million project would be located in southwest Ellis County. Project documents include a conditional-use permit, county resolutions, payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) agreement and road use agreement.
Action on these agreements was delayed during its Jan. 20 meeting.
