Incorporated Rural District Question Submission
Green Garden Township is currently in the exploratory phase of considering incorporation. At our March 9th Board Meeting, we will discuss the topic on whether to pursue the steps required for incorporation, including researching the benefits, drawbacks and challenges.
If the Board approves moving forward to pursue the initial steps of incorporation, the final decision will rest with the electorate — the registered voters of Green Garden Township — through a ballot vote.
The primary reason for considering incorporation is the significant number of proposed utility-scale solar projects that would convert large portions of Green Garden Township farmland — approximately 2,500 acres— into industrial solar facilities. Incorporation could allow us to retain local control over land use decisions.
Please submit any questions you have regarding Green Garden Township Incorporation.
