Graham council backs Plug Power hydrogen project, asks DOE for continued federal support
Summary
The council adopted a resolution asking the U.S. Department of Energy to continue federal support for Plug Power’s proposed Limestone Hydrogen Production Facility on FM 209; council emphasized local economic benefits and the importance of federal funding review during administration transition.
The Graham City Council on May 20 approved a resolution urging the U.S. Department of Energy to continue federal support for Plug Power’s proposed Limestone Hydrogen Production Facility to be constructed on FM 209.
City Manager Eric Garrity explained that Plug Power requested municipal support as the DOE reviews grants and loan agreements following a presidential administration change. Garrity said the project could bring economic activity during construction and sustained operations nearby and that city staff had previously extended a water line to the project location.
Council discussion included recognition of the project’s potential local economic benefits and a motion to send the letter of support to the Department of Energy. Councilmember Jack moved to approve the resolution; Councilmember Bridal seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.
Decision and next steps: The adopted resolution asks federal officials to continue support for the project; staff will deliver the city’s letter of support to the Department of Energy as requested by Plug Power.
