A 6,100-acre solar development proposed for Will County remains undecided after the Will County Land Use and Development Committee split in a tied vote of 3-3, following weeks of intense public scrutiny and testimony.
The project, known as the Pride of the Prairie Solar Complex (Zoning case ZC-25-129) and proposed by Earthrise Energy, would span approximately 6,100 acres across 96 properties in Manhattan, Green Garden and Wilton townships, generally southeast of the Village of Manhattan, and including properties on Wilmington-Peotone Road.
