Days after ground was broken on the Mammoth Solar Project, the Starke County Commissioners will consider zoning permission for some affected parcels south of Bass Lake. Earlier this month, the commissioners agreed to rezone the Rentka property west of U.S. 35 to Agriculture, but tabled a decision on the nearby Redlin property. Among other things, Agricultural zoning allows for the installation of solar panels.
The commissioners could also hire a new EMS director this morning. They’re looking to replace Travis Clary, who’s stepping down from the position November 1.
Larry Wickert with the Prairie Trails Club is expected to discuss a memo related to the Erie Trail’s designation as part of U.S. Bike Route 35. Documents related to work on the Kankakee River bridge on County Road 1200 East will also be up for the commissioners’ approval.
This morning’s Starke County Commissioners meeting starts at 9:30 in Starke County Annex Building No. 1.
