A local government’s approach to zoning and development can have a significant impact on solar energy growth. The inclusion of solar energy planning and zoning best practices provides a foundation that can help facilitate the growth of solar energy, while balancing other development priorities in a community. This free training provides communities with strategies for incorporating solar into plans, ordinances, and development regulations. This training took place as part of the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission’s climate planning seminar.
