Wind‑energy developer introduces repowering and outreach plans during open forum
Summary
A senior project developer attended open forum to meet supervisors, offer fact‑finding assistance and schedule outreach about wind‑energy repowering in the county; the developer identified representatives and earlier developers involved in local projects and offered to meet with the board.
During open forum, Chad Little, who identified himself as a senior project developer, attended to introduce himself and seek meetings with county officials about wind‑energy activities.
Little said his work includes early‑stage outreach and surveys, and that when projects reach later stages they are handed to project managers who oversee permitting, studies and outreach. He referenced prior activity by Nexero (noted by name in public comment) and a developer named Kimberly Dickey who worked on an earlier repowering effort. Little offered contact information and said he has an office in Mason City and would be willing to meet with supervisors to answer questions about repowering, surveys and wind‑energy policy.
Supervisors encouraged the developer to leave a business card and noted County Engineer Scott Meijers and conservation staff can be resources for technical and land‑use questions. No formal action was taken; the comments were part of the public comment/open forum portion of the meeting.
