Lexington Votes on Solar Farms | Lexington News

Lexington’s council just passed a controversial vote—8 to 7—to allow large solar projects over five acres on farmland, aiming to hit net-zero by 2050. While supporters say it’s essential for climate goals and includes safeguards like farming upkeep and stormwater rules, opponents fear losing the city’s agricultural identity and economy. The mayor now has ten days to veto or approve; if she does nothing, it becomes law. This decision could reshape Lexington’s energy future—and how we balance progress with preservation.
