This April 2021 letter to the editor of the Kenbridge Victoria Dispatch outlines numerous concerns over the proposed Red Brick Solar project in Lunenberg County, including the fact that state (not county) agencies provide oversight and control; that the revenue the county receives from the project will decline every year; that any clean-up bond posted by the company will not cover the costs of environmental mitigation and remediation; and that most of the project’s total 1,500 acres will need to be cleared of all vegetation in order to install solar panels, leading to significant erosion and run-off into the scenic Meherrin River. (Note: the language in the letter is a little heated at times but the underlying points are worth reading. We were not able to copy the text, but this link will take you to the full article.)
