The Buena Vista State Wildlife Area’s greater prairie chickens may get some favorable news by July 1 as it relates to the large solar farm proposed by Vista Sands LLC, the company that wants to build a roughly 9,000-acre solar farm on ag land next to the wildlife area.
The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation (WWF) filed an action against the project in Columbia County Circuit Court a while back. Vista Sands is interested in negotiating a settlement with the WWF, according to George Meyer, former DNR secretary and the WWF executive director from 2003 through 2021.
