This comes after a one-year moratorium was placed on applications for solar farms.

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – The Dearborn County Plan Commission met on Monday to discuss the creation of a solar farm advisory committee. 
The proposed advisory committee would work toward amending commercial ordinances regarding solar, battery energy storage and data centers. However, the Plan Commission voted 8-0 against the creation of a citizen advisory committee. 
The vote comes after Dearborn County Commissioners approved a one-year moratorium on solar farms. The moratorium halts the processing of applications for commercial solar farms and battery storage facilities in Dearborn County.
Linea Energy has been at the forefront of discussion, as the company wants to develop solar and battery storage on 1,000 acres in the Manchester area.
Oppositions are concerned for the environment, fear of lower property values, and loss of an agricultural setting for homeowners.
Dearborn County Commissioners will be next to discuss the creation of a solar farm advisory committee. 
Monday's Dearborn County Plan Commission meeting can be found at pc 04/27/26.
