Editor’s note: As was previously announced on The Whitewater Banner, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission approved the application for a massive “solar farm” to the east of the city. Yvette Loiselle submitted the following announcement on behalf of the intervenors who have vowed to continue with their opposition to the project. The Banner does not have a position on this matter.
We are officially kicking off the fund raising for the Appeal on the Whitewater Solar Project.
We will hold an cCommunity meeting at noon on Saturday, October 18th at the Community Engagement Center, just east of Walmart, with an open house for Q and A and community organizing afterwards until 3 pm. Follow up meeting will be scheduled at a later date.
We will have “Stop Solar” signs on hand with the hopes of increasing our sign footprint out there. We need all hands on deck! We need to pack that room, and gather the funds for the lawyer so we can file our appeal. We think we need $10k for a retainer, and between 50-75K to fight the appeal.
Our goal: get the word out, share information on how people can help, and keep up the resistance. Let’s file this appeal and see if the courts will help us out!
