CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KWWL) -- The Linn County Board of Supervisors voted 2-1 on Monday against an ordinance that would establish a six-month moratorium on rezoning utility-scale solar projects.
The motion failed with Supervisors Stacey Walker and Ben Rogers voting against it, and with Supervisor Louie Zumbach voting for it.
Supervisors Ben Rogers and Stacey Walker voted for the project, while Louie Zumbach voted against it. The approval means that about 750 acres will be rezoned from agricultural to agricultural with a renewable energy overlay that expires after 35 years.
