How a central Ohio solar project is planning on using its land for agriculture

The Eastern Cottontail Solar Project, one of two proposed for Fairfield County, is a 220-megawatt facility expected to generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 42,000 American homes. It has been in the works for a 1,550-acre piece of land in Walnut Township since before the county enacted a solar exclusionary zone, which prohibits large solar facilities from being built in the area.
