MINDEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Residents in Minden Township are continuing their fight against a proposed industrial solar project that would cover roughly 1,100 acres of farmland near Lake Huron.
The project, which opponents say would span about two square miles, has been under discussion since October 2022 and is now moving through the township’s approval process.
Local residents Jackie, Jill, Jerry and Chris said the land targeted for development is currently used for crops including corn, soybeans, edible beans and potatoes. They argue the project would take productive farmland out of use for decades under a reported 20 to 30 year contract.
