BUT! The real problem it would seem stems from more than just uneducated bumpkins from North Carolina thinking solar panels will soak up all of the sun's rays. It would appear to me the towns people are seeing the results from three other solar farms already in place around their town and said enough is enough.
We had a similar fight against wind farms. Told the companies to pack sand they went bust and never came back.

I don't think, legally, the town can say no. My neighborhood is overseen by a HOA(Home Owners Association). The new must have thing is solar panels on your roof. Ugly as hell but the HOA can not say no to solar panels per government regulations/laws on sustainable energy. The sad part of these panels is the company that installs them has a 20 year contract with the homeowner. If the homeowner needs to sell they are still stuck with the 20 year contract or need to sell it as a package to the next owner. Plus, the company installing is getting the tax credits from the government(millions) and not the home owner.
