Council Delays Solar Deal and Parking Ban | Washington DC News

Mount Jackson’s council delayed a vote on extending the Turkey Knob solar project after residents demanded transparency over a $1M+ payment deal with Energix — now set for a public hearing in September. The company, blaming a software glitch, promises payments tied to milestones — including $275K upfront — and aims for commercial operation by 2031 or 2032. Residents push back, calling for better deals and urging protection of natural beauty, frustrated by lack of info. Meanwhile, the council postponed a Gospel Street parking ban after tenant complaints, shelved a cheap land purchase behind the community center, and scheduled a public hearing for a new tree ordinance aimed at earning Tree City USA status — plus declared August 14th Clayton Will Day to honor his 100th birthday and WWII service.
