A solar energy ordinance has been sent back to the DeWitt County Zoning Board of Appeals and the Regional Planning Commission.
Last Thursday night at the DeWitt County Board meeting, Terry Ferguson indicates the culmination of around six meetings worth of discussion on updating the County's solar codes was brought forward.
A few of the proposals around where there could be solar farms erected were done so without legal counsel and Ferguson says there were some pitfalls to those changes and so the ordinance was sent back to the RPC and ZBA for further review.
Ferguson believes solar energy in the county is going to be much less divisive as wind energy was and is but he also believes for those that are opposed to the projects, it is very concerning.
