Gainesboro District, 157 Anchorage Lane, Gore, Va. Shame on you Hollow Road Solar LLC! This project exemplifies their GREED! Residents of the community that they will impact do not want this project in our neighborhood! After they were denied, they sued the County, and while this case is still in litigation they went ahead and purchased the land without knowing the outcome of this litigation or arbitration is adjacent neighbors. That's their own fault!
Agriculture is the gemstone of the Commonwealth. All over America, agricultural land is being sub-divided and sold to cooperation’s like Hollow Road Solar, LLC, that have no regard to the communities they disrupt. As residents of Frederick County, we petition the Board to restrict the re-zoning and sub-division of agricultural land near our community; because personal gain should never jeopardize the peace, health, safety and well-being of an established neighboring community. Residents of Whitham Orchards do not want to become an industrial waste land, or the victim of urban sprawl, and countless sub-divisions. Eventually, this kind of over-development will result in crime and the numerous problems we see in Northern Virginia.
The concerned citizens of Whitham Orchards (Gainesboro Magisterial District) oppose Hollow Road Solar LLC's solar project. Although the project is still in litigation, in June 2021, Hollow Road Solar, LLC, finalized the purchase of the property previously owned by National Fruit Orchards, Inc., proceeding with the planned solar project. We, the residents of Whitham Orchards are outraged. Hollow Road Solar, LLC, et al, insist on establishing its solar project adjacent to a community where families dwell.
Since this case is currently in litigation and Hollow Road Solar LLC has already purchased the property; we understand that there is a possibility that this project may eventually be approved. If this project is approved, Hollow Road Solar, LLC, et al, must enter into a contract with adjacent property owners. The contract will outline Hollow Road Solar, LLC’s commitment to safety as a good neighbor. If our water quality, air quality, or soil quality becomes contaminated; or a resident becomes ill due to toxin exposure, Hollow Road Solar, LLC, et al, will take full responsibility for all that their enterprise will expose to this community. You will not put our peace, health, and wellbeing in jeopardy for your own financial gain.
Today, the good citizens of Whitham Orchards serve notice to Hollow Road Solar, LLC, et al, and the Frederick County Board of Supervisors that we will hold Hollow Road Solar, LLC, et al, accountable for all that their enterprise exposes to our community.
Therefore, we appeal to the Board that concerns that will be outlined in our forthcoming petition be addressed before reconsidering the project’s approval.
Whitham Orchards is an enclave of homes located in Gore, Virginia (Gainesboro Magisterial District), on Timber Ridge Mountain, situated on Parishville Road, Anchorage Lane, and Welbourne Lane. As residents of this mountain community we enjoy our rural lifestyle and our stunning mountain views. We enjoy clean water, fresh air, and rich soil. We enjoy the quaint charm of the nearby farms, lush green corn fields, and the apple orchards that surround us.
The residents of Whitham Orchards appeal the Board to consider that Gore, Virginia currently has the Unimim Corporation mine on Sand Mine Road. We also have an electrical power plant on Parishville Road. The proposed 300+ acre solar project would turn Whitham Orchards into an industrial waste-land. This project would have absolutely no benefit to our community. There is enough commercial-use land, not adjacent to residential communities, throughout the Commonwealth for such an enterprise. The residents of Whitham Orchards do not want this. Personal gain should never jeopardize the peace, health, safety, and well-being of an established neighboring community.
