(KMZA)--A presentation on zoning ,which had been scheduled for Monday’s Nemaha County Commission meeting, has been cancelled.

County Clerk Mary Kay Schultejans said Friday that the attorney who was suppose to conduct the informational session had to cancel.

A new date has not been set yet for the presentation.

Commissioners stated at their May 15 meeting their intent to consider establishing zoning as a way to regulate the development of large-scale energy projects including wind farms. At the same meeting they implemented a six-month moratorium on new energy developments while they negotiated with NextEra Energy Resources on the Soldier Creek Wind Farm project.

The informational meeting on zoning and an extension of the moratorium were requested at the August 26 county meeting by James Neeld, the attorney representing the county in negotiations. Neeld also asked commissioners to act on a contract with a third-party engineer who will assist with the Solider Creek project.
