Join us for the first Kentucky Environmental Leadership Institute (KELI) session of 2025 — a free, virtual series designed to equip local leaders and engaged residents with tools to influence environmental decisions in their communities.

In this session, KRC’s former director Tom “Fitz” FitzGerald breaks down the critical (and often confusing) topic of solar siting. Learn how large-scale solar facilities are approved, why local land use rules matter, and how you can help shape smart, community-friendly development. We’ll walk through KRC’s model solar ordinances, show you how to find out whether your community has one, and explore what to do if it doesn’t. This isn’t about rooftop panels — it’s about encouraging the appropriate siting of larger-scale solar facilities, taking into account local planning, farmland, the rights of landowners, and input from local communities.

This session is free and will be held on Zoom. Registration is required, click here to register now.
