Wind Turbine Deliveries Expected to Conclude by August in Fremont County

The Page County Board meeting on July 15, 2025, focused on several key updates regarding infrastructure and regulatory matters. One of the primary discussions revolved around the delivery of wind turbine components, with expectations to conclude deliveries by August. The board noted that turbines are being transported from both the east and west, likely utilizing Highway 2 for these operations.

Additionally, the meeting addressed the status of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permits related to a new tower project. While some FAA permits have been secured, the board is still awaiting FCC approvals due to recent technical issues between the two federal agencies' websites. Officials expressed optimism that these issues have been resolved and anticipate receiving the necessary FCC results within the next 30 to 45 days. This approval is crucial for moving forward with building, entrance, and utility permits associated with the tower.

The board also touched on ongoing engineering discussions related to the jail project, indicating that they have connected with the Samuelson Group to address any potential delays.

Overall, the meeting highlighted significant progress in infrastructure projects while acknowledging the challenges posed by federal regulatory processes. The board remains committed to keeping the community informed as these developments unfold.
