A county official disclosed a conversation with a liaison to a solar company who, after learning county rules and the Flint Hills eco-region restriction, recommended the company pull out of Butler County, the official said.
The official described explaining that certain siting rules apply in the Flint Hills eco-region and that some county regulations limit allowable uses; the liaison told the official he would “pass on to the solar company that he recommends they just pull out of Butler County.” The official said the liaison had been unsure whether proposals under 2,500 acres were permitted and that staff clarified residential-only and ecological limitations.
No formal action was taken at the meeting. The disclosure was informational; county staff said the liaison would report back to the developer.
