Contract AwardEnvironmental ServicesDetected Jun 17, 2026

The Paw Paw Township Planning Commission approved an extension of the special land use and site plan approvals for the Paw Paw Affordable Solar LLC project on Village-owned property along Paw Paw Road. SolAmerica Energy’s representative explained that the project lost its original federal financial assistance package and is now pursuing new USDA support and cost reductions to keep the project financially viable, while continuing permitting and financing work. This decision keeps the solar development entitlement active, allowing the developer more time to secure funding, finalize design, and move toward construction.For vendors, this indicates that a utility-scale or community-scale solar installation is still moving forward despite financial headwinds, and that engineering, construction, interconnection, environmental, and long-term O&M needs will likely resurface as the project advances under revised financing.

Site is on Village of Paw Paw-owned parcels 80-14-023-002-00 and 80-14-023-003-00 along Paw Paw Road; public comments showed mixed support and opposition.

The EAC discussed its 2026 work plan and included plastic bag ban implementation as a requested project from the Board of Supervisors.
