The Knox County Supervisors affirmatively voted (6-1) to "ban and prohibit" any new commercial Wind or Solar companies from construction inside the county, by adopting an amended comprehensive plan at a special meeting on Wednesday, June 11.
The "ban" does not effect the Crofton Bluffs and Elkhorn Ridge developments, but for a variety of reasons - stretching from negative tourism effects to wind and solar credits from the federal government contributing to the federal debt - prohibits any future developments.
The Resolution does not mention anything about the latest North Fork development plan that is still in litigation in the United States District Court of Nebraska, but since the North Fork project had allegedly not been presented yet to the Board, presumably it would be banned as a "new project."
A full rendition of the minutes, and a complete story for the resolution will appear in next week's paper.
