Opening Ceremonies

1. Public Hearing on intention of Meadow Independent School District to consider designating the Meadow Orsted Two Reinvestment Zone

In order for the Orsted Caprock Solar and Sundown Wind Projects to be eligible for a 313 Agreement, each must be located in area designated as a reinvestment zone, which the County or the District can create.  
Since time is of the essence to get the application process completed before chapter 313 expires, Orsted has requested that the District create the reinvestment zone instead of the County. 
2. Public Hearing on Application of Caprock Solar, LLC for Appraised Value Limitation on Qualified Property, pursuant to Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code
3. Public Hearing on Application of Sundown Wind, LLC for Appraised Value Limitation on Qualified Property, pursuant to Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code
