Possible solar farm pause on the horizon in Henderson County

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — The Henderson County Fiscal Court is proposing a pause on new solar farms.

Community members can learn more at a "workshop" meeting on Tuesday.

The proposed 2-year pause is for any new solar projects as officials review ordinances regarding these facilities.

Henderson County Judge Executive, Brad Schneider, says this will not halt current projects. He says there are many factors that could impact future projects.

Tuesday's meeting is at 3 p.m. in the fiscal court room on the third floor. It is said this meeting is not open for public comment and no votes will be taken in regards to the proposed pause.

A Georgia appeals court on Monday canceled oral arguments that were scheduled for next month on the appeal of a lower court ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue to prosecute the election interference case she brought against President-elect Donald Trump. Trump and other defendants had asked the Georgia Court of Appeals to hold oral arguments in the case, and the court had set those arguments for Dec. 5. A Fulton County grand jury in August 2023 indicted Trump and 18 others, accusing them of participating in a sprawling scheme to illegally try to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

Just a week after winning several of the nation's largest Arab-majority cities, President-elect Donald Trump has filled top administration posts with staunch Israel supporters, including an ambassador to Israel who has claimed "there is no such thing as Palestinians." Meanwhile, the two Trump advisers who led his outreach to Arab Americans have not secured positions in the administration yet. The selections have prompted mixed reactions among Arab Americans and Muslims in Michigan, which went for Trump along with all six other battleground states.
