FRANKLIN AGAINST
KENSINGTON SOLAR
FAKS
Please Prepare your Speech
for the Public Hearing with
the OPSB!
​
The Public Hearing gives us the ability to let the Ohio Power Siting Board
know what the community thinks. This will help us when they consider
their project criteria #6 which says- Will the proposed facility serve the
public's interest, convenience, or is it a necessity? So, let them know
what you think about it! Even if you do not intend to speak please come
to the hearing so OPSB can see the overwhelming opposition from our
community!
​
​
If you still wish to post a Public Comment, we have found that
the easiest way to file a comment with the OPSB is by email! Please use
the email link below. Your comment will then be read/approved/posted
in the case record comment section within days.

meetings, and hearings.
​
On the OPSB website you to see the current and previous energy project applications,
the rules governing the projects, and the application process flow. This also allows you
to sign up and receive notifications. Important details about how the public can participate
