Wake-up Adams County, an unbiased and competent Certified General Real Estate Appraiser with 34 years of residential, industrial, and commercial valuations in PA, Mark Heckman, testified under oath after almost 100 hours of independent research that the surrounding 114 Mt Joy Township residential homes will suffer Real Estate Damages and lose up to 20% or more of assessed property values, if the Board of Supervisors approves Brookview Solar 1, creating detrimental conditions and negative viewsheds.

The median loss per household would range from 50K to 120k plus, which translates into millions of dollars in depreciated property values, especially those with adjacent homes located within 1,000 feet of an industrial solar power plant.

Mr. Heckman noted that this solar application and proposed site plan encompassing some adjacent homes on 3 and 4 sides, reminds of an era when there were no zoning regulations.  He also noted that the submitted "Lines" solar property impact study reporting "no impacts" was unacceptable, woefully inadequate data, very deceptive/misleading, fatally flawed analysis, and lacked the transparency required to produce an ethical or credible conclusion.
