Concerns rise over proposed energy project near homes
During a recent government meeting, community concerns were raised regarding a proposed project near a local creek that is home to wildlife. Residents questioned the decision to place the project in proximity to businesses and homes, particularly highlighting the potential impact on the environment and local infrastructure.

One resident, Mr. Cox, who is also an employee of WLDS Radio, expressed skepticism about the project's intentions, suggesting it is primarily a business deal rather than a genuine effort to provide clean energy. He pointed out that the project appears to be motivated by tax incentives rather than thorough planning or community benefit. Mr. Cox emphasized the need for due diligence, noting the presence of existing substations nearby and the potential strain on local roads, which are not designed to handle heavy truck traffic.

Concerns were also raised about the safety of children, particularly regarding a school bus stop in the area and the condition of local bridges, which may not be able to support increased traffic. The discussion highlighted a broader need for careful consideration of community needs and environmental impacts before proceeding with such projects. The meeting underscored the importance of transparency and accountability in local government decisions, especially when they affect residents' lives and the local ecosystem.
