Morrow County votes to intervene in Ohio Power Siting Board proceeding

Morrow County commissioners voted to file a notice of intervention to the Ohio Power Siting Board pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code 4906-2-12.

During the meeting a commissioner explained the purpose of the intervention: “this is not a a intervention to say we support or that we disagree with, it's giving us a voice in the final say.” The comment was offered as context for the board’s decision to seek party status so the county can participate formally in the proceeding.

The resolution to file the notice of intervention was moved and seconded and then adopted by roll call. The transcript records commissioners answering in the affirmative during roll call. The transcript does not provide additional specifics about the project under review by the Power Siting Board or any planned county position for the intervention.

The filing of a notice of intervention establishes the county as an official participant in the administrative proceeding; the transcript does not record any subsequent directives or assigned staff to prepare the intervention documents.

The commissioners continued with other agenda items after the vote, including several administrative approvals and facility updates.
