(Dearborn County, Ind.) - Dearborn County's Citizen's Advisory Committee met on Wednesday night. 

The committee is working to review and give a recommendation to Commissioners regarding possible amendments to Article 19 of the Dearborn County Zoning Ordinance relating to Solar Energy Systems (SES-C) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) as well as the creation of a new article as it relates to Data Centers.

Commissioner Duane Bischoff stated Wednesday that the committee is not making changes to the ordinance. 

"We're making comments to the plan commission. So, we're going to forward our comments to them. They'll in turn have to make any changes before it would come back to the commissioners. We are not editing or changing, we're just making suggestions," said Bischoff.
