Changes to the county’s industrial solar permitting rules, which would force developers to seek comments from the trona industry and state agencies like the Wyoming Game and Fish Department were approved by the Sweetwater County commissioners Tuesday in a 4-0 vote.

Commissioner Wally Johnson was absent from the meeting.

“I think it’s a good change, a good addition,” Commissioner Randy Wendling said.
