At Wednesday's meeting, the Sedgwick County Commission will hear an annual report on Exploration Place, Kansas' Premier Science Center. Commission Chair Ryan Baty tells KNSS News Exploration Place is about to begin construction on a new amphitheater, and ground-breaking is tomorrow. Baty says EP has a $40 million annual economic impact and it's a "crown jewel" of this community.

Commissioners will also discuss the county's moratorium on solar energy. Baty says "it's a powerful technology." He says when we're talking about using 2,000 acres plus for solar panels, we have to make sure other interests are taking into consideration.


Baty says "it's too early in the process" to know the impact of a big merger might be on Wichita. Boeing and Wichita's Spirit AeroSystems are in talks that may lead to Boeing reacquiring Spirit.

Baty commented during his weekly chat with Steve and Ted in the Morning on KNSS.
