From the meeting
Distributed Sun was reported to be in the permitting process for a proposed 5 MW community solar farm on Piney Hill Road behind Pop's Market. The council referred the matter to the Planning Commission before sending a letter to the Public Service Commission. The state preempts local approval, but the town can still influence land-use conditions and comments.
This is a live siting and permitting issue for the developer and its project team.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Trappe's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
