Copper Rays Solar Project Approval

The county locked in a deal with Copper Rays Solar worth about $10 million in community benefits — sheriff's funding, fire equipment, splash pad and soccer field money, scholarships, and groundwater retirement. Commissioners praised the developer's engagement; critics worried about accountability, bankruptcy risk, and where the money actually lands.
