Lone Bison Solar Faces Final Vote | Wichita News

A massive 4,000-acre solar farm, Lone Bison Solar, is poised to break ground in Finney County, Kansas — between Ulysses and Garden City — after receiving a preliminary green light from the planning commission. The county commission now holds the final vote on whether to grant the special use permit, weighing impacts on roads, environment, and safety. Construction could begin by late 2027, taking 12–18 months, followed by 40 years of clean energy production. Approval still requires site plan review, building permits, and other agreements. Residents can submit comments via email or in person to the Planning and Development Department by 5 PM Thursday.
