Lexington Mayor Vetoes Solar Zoning Amendment Backed by Council
Original: Lexington Mayor Vetoes Council’s Solar Zoning Amendment Despite Protections for Farmland, Benefits to Customer Bills
Lexington's mayor has vetoed a solar zoning amendment passed by the city council. The amendment had included protections for farmland and was expected to lower customer utility bills by enabling more solar development. The veto sets up a potential override fight and puts the mayor at odds with council members who backed the measure.
Why now: The veto blocks a solar policy seen as beneficial to ratepayers, drawing local attention and debate.
