CLINTON — County zoning administrator Elizabeth Weikle is working with four commercial solar energy developers on their applications to the county.  She said one, Prairie Flats, was close to submitting its application.

“Probably at the board meeting next week, I will have a list of dates for you for a hearing for them,” Weikle said.

She said she had put together a list of dates.  The legal notice must be published at least 15 days before the hearing.

“And, we have to have all this done within a 60-day window, once they send in the check and the final application,” Weikle said.

The Prairie Flats solar project will be approximately 900 acres, including battery storage, which will be located east of Rt. 54 bordering northeast Clinton.
