We, the undersigned, strongly support bringing more solar projects to communities across Western Kentucky. We're asking our local leaders to support these projects in a fair way that respects landowners' rights, boosts local economic growth, and keeps Kentucky moving toward a more sustainable future. Let's make sure we don't miss out on opportunities that other states are seizing to create jobs, increase revenue, and secure affordable energy. 

Large-scale solar projects offer numerous benefits to our community, including: 

1. Job Creation: These projects will create hundreds of high-quality jobs, strengthening and diversifying our local economy.

2. Increased Tax Revenues: Solar developments will generate millions in property tax revenue, providing vital funding for our schools, roads, first responders, and more.

3. Energy Independence: Investing in solar energy reduces our reliance on foreign energy imports and helps stabilize our electric grid, enhancing our energy security.

4. Lower Energy Costs: Increased solar energy usage can help stabilize and reduce energy costs for families and businesses, allowing hard-earned dollars to remain in our community. 

5. Protection of Private Property Rights: Solar projects enable farmers and landowners to unlock additional revenue while maintaining 100% voluntary lease agreements. 

We invite neighbors, community leaders, and anyone who wants a stronger and more resilient future for Western Kentucky to sign this petition.

Together, we can harness our resources for a more prosperous future!
