The Bureau of Land Management will hold two meetings to gather input on its proposed Pinyon Solar Project in southern Maricopa County.

A virtual meeting will be held Jan. 30, and an in-person meeting on Feb. 1 at the Maricopa Library and Cultural Center. 

The meetings come as the bureau is beginning a 30-day public scoping period to analyze the environmental impact of the 1,730-acre project. 

That is set to begin Jan. 30 for a 200 megawatt project made from solar photovoltaic modules. 

The bureau will evaluate impacts for species, socioeconomic issues and Tribal concerns.
