The Dubois County Commissioners on May 20 unanimously approved a Decommissioning Plan Agreement and a Commercial Solar Energy Permit for Crossvine Solar, LLC, clearing two county-level steps for a proposed 100 megawatt commercial solar array with up to 100 megawatts of battery energy storage.
Darrin Jacobs of Lightsource BP, representing Crossvine Solar, presented the project location in Patoka and Cass townships, east of Holland and west of the Huntingburg Regional Airport. The Decommissioning Plan Agreement obligates the company to remove solar equipment and restore the site per the terms spelled out in Attachment A to the agreement. The board moved to approve both the decommissioning agreement and Commercial Solar Energy Permit Application 2024‑02; both motions were seconded and carried unanimously.
The approvals are county‑level authorizations: the decommissioning plan sets expectations for site restoration at end of project life, and the permit allows construction to proceed under local permitting rules. The transcript does not indicate additional permit conditions, bond amounts or local permit fees; those details are not specified in the meeting minutes.
The action clears administrative steps required by the county; further federal, state or interagency approvals, construction scheduling and inspection requirements are not documented in the minutes. The board did not record a roll‑call vote in the minutes beyond noting the motions carried unanimously.
