The notice sets a joint hearing, not a result

Brunswick County’s official notice schedules a joint Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors public hearing for October 7 at 6:30 p.m. at the Brunswick County Conference Center, 100 Athletic Field Road in Lawrenceville. The subject is possible revocation of Conditional Use Permit 21-032 for the Bellflower utility-scale solar project.

The notice does not establish that either body has already acted.

The county describes a terminated project

The county says the permit was approved July 21, 2025, for a project proposed across 79 parcels totaling about 7,809 acres, with about 2,526.6 acres identified for fenced and stormwater areas. It also says Dominion gave written notice that the project was irrevocably terminated, landowner leases were terminated and the project was withdrawn from the PJM queue.

Those are the county notice’s stated grounds for the hearing, not Gretna Junction’s independent finding about every private agreement.

Use the final record after the hearing

A recommendation, public comment, board motion and signed revocation record are separate stages. Readers should return to the county’s agenda, minutes and any final order before describing the permit’s status after October 7.
