Solar Farms Near Milton Spark Debate

Three new solar farms near Milton just got the green light, but visibility remains a hot issue for the county council. Council President Douglas Hudson suggested evergreen trees along Route 24 to block views year-round, while residents push back over noise and environmental impacts. Governor Matt Meyer is pushing for faster approval of community solar projects to cut energy bills locally—developers like Zac Meyer of Soltage say their Milton project will power 700 homes with about a 10% discount. The council approved the projects with conditions to address sightlines, adding to Sussex County’s growing fleet of 60 approved solar farms.
