Solar Energy Zoning Across the Great Lakes

Large areas of the Great Lakes either have not explicitly zoned for solar use or have actively zoned to prevent solar in their communities.

Note: Principal use generally refers to activities relevant to the dominant/primary intent of use for that parcel, e.g., a solar farm that is used to supply electricity to the grid. The land is being primarily used for electricity generation.
