Application Completeness: Stop the ‘Moving Target’ Problem
The Heartwood II Solar Project is an industrial-scale solar energy development proposed in Fayette Township, aiming to harness solar power for the energy grid.
Fayette Township has vast land suitable for solar projects, which makes it an attractive target for such industrial developments.
Local approval involves township zoning regulations, while state approval under Michigan’s Public Act 233 may supersede local decisions.
Key risks include environmental impacts, health concerns, property value changes, and compliance with safety regulations.

Yes. Fayette Twp has received state grants ($675,000 when they approved the first Heartwood Solar Project).
