Reno County has scheduled three Town Hall meetings, in District 1 and District 2, to gather feedback regarding possible expansion of County Wide Zoning and Solar in the unzoned areas of the county. 

Town Hall Meetings Schedule:

Monday, July 8, 2024 in the Nickerson Community Center, 11 N. Nickerson St., Nickerson, at 6:30 pm

Monday, July 22 , 2024 in the Arlington City Hall, 900 W. Main Street, Arlington, at 6:30 pm

Tuesday, July 23, 2024 in the Pretty Prairie City Office, 119 W Main St, Pretty Prairie, at 6:30 pm 

The Town Halls will all be attended by Reno County Public Works Director Don Brittain, Reno County Planner Mark Vonachen, Reno County Administrator Randy Partington and Reno County Commissioners Randy Parks and Ron Hirst. The officials would like feedback from Reno County residents on two things: 1 - possible expansion of County Wide Zoning, 2 - wanting people's opinions on Solar in the unzoned areas of Reno County. The informal meetings will start with information about what planning and zoning is and what it would mean to residents in the rural parts of Reno County and then gather their comments about zoning. Officials will look for feedback to see if there is any interest in commercial solar farms, either the prohibition or allowance of these farms, from people living in the unzoned areas of Reno County. The meetings are open to the public.
