Folks are very upset over this. They’re sharing concerns about the building’s location right in their neighborhood, and affecting property values.
A representative of the developer is here- he is answering questions from residents. He says the planned building is four stories.

Noted in the Maryland Matters article below: “As officials at the state and local level scramble to meet Maryland’s ambitious goals for combating climate change, expanding the use of solar energy is clearly a key part of the solution. But emotional and politically charged debates abound over where to place large solar arrays. Right now, for example, in Carroll County, the Board of County Commissioners is contemplating a six-month moratorium on large-scale solar development, as vocal critics fume over five proposals for solar farms on agricultural land.
Schools can be part of the solution.”
