The county's yearlong moratorium on solar energy projects would have expired this week, but commissioners extended it through August. Commission President Shannon Henry says that gives time for the solar committee to continue to work on an ordinance. Last month, Delaware Muncie Metropolitan Planning Commission Director Marta Moody died after a short illness. Henry says she headed the rewriting of that ordinance.

I want to make it clear it's not that anyone's trying to hide anything. We're in a difficult situation. Understand?

Last February's moratorium came after some farmers and homeowners in northern Delaware County came together to demand they didn't want a proposed solar farm project near their homes or farm ground. That group was most concerned about setbacks. How far a solar panel farm should be from their property lines. A committee was ordered to look into changes. Moody essentially led that committee, and commissioners say she took notes and minutes.

Henry says extending the moratorium until August gives time for the planning commission to go through Moody's notes. In Muncie, Stephanie Wiechmann, IPR news.
