HARVEY COUNTY — Harvey County Commissioners will talk about wind energy regulations at their meeting Tuesday.

According to agenda documents, Harvey County Planning Commission Chairman Justin Stucky presented during citizens' forum on Jan. 31 and requested that a future agenda item be created to discuss Harvey County's wind energy regulations.

Later in the meeting, Commissioners requested that staff add this item to the agenda for February 7, 2023.

Justin Stucky will be present Tuesday to answer questions.

After receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission to update the Harvey County Unified Development Code - Section 16.14 - Commercial Renewable Energy Project, the County Commission considered the recommendations, and on October 13, 2022, adopted Resolution 2022-16 which amended Section 16.14 of the Unified Development Code.

The changes became effective on October 20, 2022, when published in the official county newspaper.

Any additional changes Section 16.14 - Commercial Renewable Energy Project would require following the regulation amendment process as outlined in Article 2 of the Harvey County Unified Development Code.

The Board of Harvey County Commissioners will meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the Harvey County Courthouse.
