Grundy County Large-Scale Solar Project

under legal review

ECA Solar is developing a large-scale solar project in Grundy County, Illinois. The project is located in unincorporated Morris and has been approved for a Special Use Permit through Grundy County's zoning process. The project is currently involved in litigation initiated by the city of Morris, which is outside the project's jurisdiction. New Illinois energy legislation clarifies that counties have authority over solar project siting in unincorporated areas outside municipal zoning jurisdiction, supporting the project's legal standing.
