SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Discussion and possible action on Reno County regulations regarding wind farms will have to wait for at least a month.

County Commissioner Chair Ron Sellers announced Wednesday that Thursday’s Planning Commission meeting has been postponed because of concerns with COVID-19.

It was determined the meeting room does not meet the requirements of Gov. Kelly’s executive order for gatherings of 50 people or fewer with a six-foot separation rule. The meeting was expected to draw a large crowd as the controversial wind farm issue was on the agenda.

The meeting has been rescheduled for April 16 at 4:30 p.m. at the Reno County Public Works facility located at 600 Scott Boulevard in South Hutchinson.

The COVID-19 situation will be monitored and any changes to this date will be communicated to all media outlets as soon as possible.
