(Calipatria City Council adopts a resolution)....The resolution states the City Council opposes solar development in Ag Land.

A similar resolution was adopted by the County Board of Supervisors not long ago. Since then, other City Councils have adopted a similar resolution. Calipatria City Council is the latest. The Imperial Irrigation District Board of Directors have also adopted a resolution opposing future solar development on Ag Land. The Calipat resolution affirms the City's commitment to protect Imperial Valley's agricultural heritage, economy and natural environment from growing encroachment of utility-scale solar projects on productive farmland. The resolution will be sent to the County Board of Supervisors, who over-see land development in the Imperial County.
