County Board Considering Regulations For Solar Farms

The Wabash County Board of Commissioners will consider adopting an ordinance to regulate any possible solar farms that might decide to locate here. County board chairman Tim Hocking said there are two companies looking to build a solar farm in Wabash County and the board had been approached by the local farm bureau about approving an ordinance that would protect the rights of nearby landowners if a several hundred acre solar farm comes. Other area counties, including Edwards, have already adopted similar ordinances. Hocking said representatives of the farm bureau will be at the next county board meeting to further explain what they would like included in the ordinance.
