☀️ Solar Tension Rising in Woodbine

A proposed solar project in Woodbine has sparked concern among neighbors who say it's the latest in a wave of developments swallowing up Howard County farmland. The plan—by Trajectory Energy—would install panels on 4 acres of a 7-acre parcel, generating enough power for 450 homes. Supporters tout savings and sustainability, but opponents argue it’s more about profit than progress. Critics like Cat Carter, a County Council candidate, say the state’s new pro-solar laws strip counties of local control and put too much pressure on rural areas like District 5. The debate hits a nerve in Howard, where open space and private property rights often clash. A community meeting is set for Thursday at the Howard County Library.
