There is discussion of a potential solar energy generation facility coming to Wilson County.

 

Sunflower Skies had applied for an application for the facility earlier this year, and the original application was rejected by the commissioners and county zoning board.

 

At this week's meeting, representatives from Sunflower Skies, as well as Evergy spoke to the commission, presenting new information about the potential facility.

 

Commissioner Andrew Miller says the commissioners want to learn more about the project, but also have to keep the county's best interests in mind.

 

The commission voted to table the issue until the October 9th meeting.

 

Additional items of business at this week's meeting was a Health Department update from Director Amy Lell, as well as the reappointment of Maria Gonzalez to the Juvenile Services Advisory Board.
