Commission temporarily prohibits alternative energy

(Sedgwick County, Kan.) – Commissioners this week approved a resolution establishing a temporary prohibition of wind and solar energy zoning applications. This action will allow staff to conduct additional research and study for the development, consideration, and potential establishment of specific standards or regulations. The moratorium will temporarily prohibit the acceptance and processing of an application for a commercial wind or solar energy system until August 12, 2019. There are no current applications for such systems in Sedgwick County.
