Solar farm moratorium extended in Sedgwick County [Video]

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Sedgwick County Commissioners voted to extend the solar moratorium in Sedgwick County. It came after hours of public comment during Wednesday’s meeting.

Commissioners will have a consulting firm come in and look at the issue.

“We don’t know today what we don’t know. To make a good decision, we need someone to help us a little bit more with that,” said Sedgwick County Commissioner David Dennis.
