Regular meeting (Public Comment – J. Hunter, 2/20/2024)

Executive Summary:

Renewable Energy Infrastructure Grant: The author, John Hunter, urges the commissioners to vote positively to apply for and accept the Michigan Public Service Commission – Renewable Energy and Electrification Infrastructure Enhancement and Development Grant. He requests that if the commissioners vote against moving forward with the grant, they provide their reasoning.

Solar Project Proposal: The author mentions that he has a solar project where he grows energy alongside organic produce such as tomatoes, peppers, beans, and squash. He suggests that the commissioners review his solar project at another time.

Farm to Table to Grid Concept: The author proposes a new concept and slogan for Leelanau County, “Farm2Table2Grid,” to capitalize on the county’s reputation for its cheeses, wines, and farm-to-table market. He suggests that a solar installation at the Government Center would be the first step towards a safer tomorrow for the community.
