Any and all solar power generating systems should only be approved if they meet only two conditions.
First- the panels would be roof mounted to existing buildings. OR
The panels would be placed on capped landfill sites not suitable for any other development.
So many homeless families, I think we need to consider affordable housing before any more solar farms. Genesee County DsS is telling homeless people to go to other counties
