“The James City County (JCC) Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to approve a new solar farm on Racefield Drive during the Tuesday, March 8 meeting.
Brendan Grajewski of Hexagon Energy, LLC, applied for a SUP for a three-megawatt (MW) solar farm located at 360 Racefield Dr.
The solar farm will be developed on 26 acres of the total 65.26 acres and would connect to the existing utility line using an on-site, pad-mounted switchgear, according to the project’s staff report.
In 5-0 votes, the Board approved both the solar farm and the withdrawal request.
Grajewski said that the first quarter of 2023 is the estimated time when construction would begin, with facility operations expected to occur in spring 2023."
