YORK, Neb. (KSNB) – York County commissioners passed a resolution Tuesday to set zoning regulations for large solar projects.
The vote passed 3-2 and includes half-mile setbacks from non-participating homes, churches and schools.
The resolution came after four years of conversations and a long public hearing Monday night.
Some York County residents say the setback is necessary to protect properties of non-participating owners.
Representatives of the Omaha Public Power District said it will prohibit large projects such as the one proposed for McCool Junction.
