A new use for a former eye doctor’s office will not proceed after failing to get go-ahead from Shelby County Commissioners this week.

Commissioner Don Parker describes the plan for the building on Boggstown Road by the Shelbyville Community Church.

Ultimately, the commissioners felt it wouldn’t be a good situation to place an institution zoning in a commercial district. Even though this is still in the county it would not follow the city's future land use map which they have identified Heavy / Medium Industrial.

Parker also noted they received a presentation by the group against a possible industrial solar farm in southwestern Shelby County.  The presentation dealt with fire safety concerns.

There was no vote called for on a moratorium proposed by the group for further analysis of such solar farms.
