(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has received the site plan for the proposed Solider Creek Wind Farm in the southern portion of the county.
The site plan, which was reviewed by the Commission Monday, shows the proposed location of about 120 wind turbines.
Commissioners anticipate reviewing the plan for at least two weeks before voting on its approval and releasing it to the public.
The Commission held a 90-minute executive session with special attorney James Neeld.
Neeld announced following the closed door session that the county is in the process of selecting members to serve on an advisory committee to determine the viability of enacting a zoning ordinance, either limited or broad, for the county.
Last month, the Commission approved a resolution placing a six-month moratorium on any new utility project.
The resolution bans any requests to use the roads, infrastructure or other public areas of the county during the period.
It does not apply to the Soldier Creek Wind farm development proposed by Florida-based NextEra Energy Resources.
