(North Sewickley Township, PA) On Thursday, a proposed Beaver County solar farm in North Sewickley Township was denied a zoning application. Penn Renewables was the company that faced a zoning board after leasing the farm. However, neighbors believed that values of property and issues with flooding would affect the “impact” the land has in the community. Even though Penn Renewables is continuing to get the farm applied to be built on a wooded area of almost eighty acres, an almost three-hour decision by a zoning board said no to the opportunity.
