Callahan County commissioners pass resolution opposing proposed Encore 765 kV transmission line
Summary
At its March 19 meeting, the Callahan County Commissioners Court adopted a resolution opposing the proposed Encore 765 kilovolt transmission line routes through the county, aligning with similar measures recently passed by neighboring counties.
The Callahan County Commissioners Court voted March 19 to adopt a resolution opposing the proposed Encore 765 kilovolt transmission line routes through Callahan County.
The chair introduced the resolution and said it was drafted to match similar actions taken by neighboring counties. "If you've gotten as many calls and contacts as I have, then you know it's needed," the chair said, urging commissioners to act.
Commissioner Clark moved to pass the resolution; Commissioner Windham seconded. The court adopted the measure by voice vote with no commissioners recorded as opposed. Copies of the signed resolution were announced as available after the meeting.
The chair noted that the draft aligns with recent resolutions from Brown, Eastland, Shackleford, and Taylor counties. No written objections or amendments were recorded during the discussion; the resolution was presented and approved on the same agenda item.
The resolution expresses the county's official opposition to the proposed route through Callahan County. The commissioners did not outline next procedural steps in the meeting record beyond making the resolution available to the public after the meeting.
