The Taylorville City Council is preparing for how to handle possible solar farms in and near the community. The council voted to have a public hearing on a possible ordinance change regarding solar farms in April.

Taylorville mayor Bruce Barry says the city is receiving a lot of questions already about possible solar farms.

Barry says solar is a growing industry, but the city wants to make sure that solar farms will still be visually appealing for residents.

The public hearing on the ordinance change regarding solar farms will be held before the city council meeting on April 16th.
