PRINEVILLE, Ore. — Crook County leaders are moving forward with plans for a potential moratorium on new solar farms.
The current solar farms in the county are mostly clustered along George Millican Road, south of Highway 126 and the Prineville Airport.
Community members have been raising concerns about the pace and scale of new solar developments. One concern is the impact on wildlife migration.
The Crook County Board of Commissioners voted this week to hold public meetings and prepare documents for a potential moratorium. The measure passed 2-1.
County leaders say the ordinance could begin to take shape this summer.
