MUNCIE — Officials said Monday they had no intention of prematurely pulling the plug on a wind farm proposed for parts of eastern Delaware County.

An opponent of the wind farm proposed by E. ON Climate& Renewables North America — on 15,000 leased acres of property generally east of the town of DeSoto — attended Monday’s meeting of the Delaware County commissioners and asked for immediate action.

“I would like to ask the commissioners to pass an ordinance for a moratorium on wind turbines until we can get this sorted out,” said James Rybarczyk, a resident of eastern Delaware County and an associate professor at Ball State University.

But commissioners president Larry Bledsoe said the next action should come from the Metropolitan Plan Commission.
