Developer outlook

Morrow County is very high risk for utility-scale solar permitting. Significant regulatory barriers are on record, and approval is not likely without substantial process investment. Conditions have been tightening over the past 12 months — watch for additional ordinance changes or board activity. Market saturation is elevated in this area — expect competition for prime land parcels and interconnection capacity.
