The Dearborn County Planning Commission voted nearly unanimously to recommend a 12-month moratorium on solar project developments and data center proposals. This recommendation follows extensive public debate, with nearly every attendee at South Dearborn High School supporting the moratorium.

Bobby Rauen emphasized that over 2,000 petitioners back this initiative, raising concerns about property values and farmland loss. Linea Energy is planning a 1,200-acre solar farm in Manchester Township, prompting public engagement. The full Dearborn County Commission will discuss this recommendation at a special meeting.
