Prairie Wind project to file conditional‑use application by Feb. 15, public commenter says
Summary
At the Jan. 15 Reno County meeting, public commenter Spencer Jenkins told commissioners that the Prairie Wind project plans to file its conditional‑use permit application by Feb. 15 after additional landowners asked to join the project.
During the public‑comment period, Spencer Jenkins updated the commission on the Prairie Wind project, saying the developers held open‑house events and a commission hearing in early December and that additional landowners in the project area have expressed interest. Jenkins told the commission the project team intends to file the conditional‑use permit application no later than Feb. 15 and said the delay from an earlier Jan. 15 target date resulted from offering the same participation opportunity to newly interested landowners.
Jenkins said the project’s team is meeting privately with landowners to answer specific questions about participation, easements and what it would mean to host turbines. Commissioners acknowledged the update and did not take action on the item during the meeting.
