  • Before the next primary election on May 16, 2023 and general election on November 7, 2023, learn what platform each  candidate running for  township supervisor stands on industrial scale solar.  These elected supervisors have the power to create / change township ordinances that may or may not include strict stipulations for industrial scale solar to be built in the township.
