(Greenfield) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Friday morning, set May 5^th at 7-p.m., as the date and time for a Public Hearing on a proposed Utility-Scale, Solar Energy System Ordinance (Commercial Solar Farms). Publication of the Ordinance for public review will be in area newspapers April 28^th and 29^th. One last tweak to the Ordinance came from Board Members Jodie Hoadley, and it pertained to the setbacks, where the fence will be for solar farms.

Other Supervisors said they had received calls requesting the fence line be established at the setback. A motion to that effect was approved by a vote of 4-to-1, with Supervisor Steve Shelley a “No” vote. Adair County Attorney Melissa Larson clarified also the answer to a question from Hoadley about the acreages and how they are divvied-up to attain the 400 acre maximum.
