RIGA — The Riga Township Planning Commission has recommended a one-year moratorium on any wind energy ordinance considerations.

After taking care of the general items, which included the reading of minutes from several special public informational meetings on the subject of the wind ordinance, Karg began the public comment section of the meeting by announcing that the commissioners had been in attendance at the informational meetings and had paid attention to the residents’ comments. He said that the commissioners were entertaining the possibility of proposing a moratorium on any wind energy ordinance action to the township board.
“We can’t issue an outright moratorium,” Karg said, “but we can recommend a moratorium to the board and ask that they consider it.”
