The Ottawa County Board will decide whether to intervene in a large-scale solar application before the Michigan Public Service Commission during a meeting Oct. 27. Officials discussed Silver Maple Solar — a 200-megawatt, 1,914-acre solar development on agricultural-zoned land south of I-196 near the Ottawa Executive Airport — during a work session Oct. 16.

The company's application, originally filed April 3, was withdrawn and re-filed Sept. 18 after a decision from the Michigan Court of Appeals in May broadened the definition of an "Affected Local Unit."

More: RWE officially withdraws, refiles application for Silver Maple Solar Under PA 233, RWE is required to send intervenor funds to ALUs. Ottawa County has received a check for $50,000, according to County Administrator Patrick Waterman, but it remains uncashed. During the work session Oct. 16, commissioners discussed what
