The Greene County Commission will meet Tuesday in the Criminal Courtroom at the County Courthouse, at 6:00 PM.
On the agenda is consideration for a resolution that would extend a pause on new solar farms, bitcoin mines, and wind farms in the county.
If approved, the resolution would extend the moratorium, passed in August 2022, another 14 months.
According to officials, the intent of the extension is to give local administrators time to review a Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations study on the overall effects of utility-scale solar farm developments across Tennessee.
The study is due to release its findings September 30.
Also on the agenda, is consideration of a resolution which releases around $1.2 million in matching funds to the Greeneville Energy Authority, and the Greeneville Light & Power System for an $8.3 million grant-funded broadband project.
The commission will also consider a resolution that would direct further opioid lawsuit settlement funding into the county’s capital projects fund.
According to the resolution, Greene County joined with other counties across the state in civil suits filed by the National Prescription Opioids Litigation Consortium and the Jessee Law firm.
Greene County will receive a portion of the $26 billion settlement as a participant in the lawsuits, allocated according to population size.
