Grant County approves utility permit UTL-2026-003; Planning and Zoning to draft solar and data-center ordinances
Summary
The board approved utility permit UTL-2026-003 for trenching to bury electric cable and heard that Planning and Zoning will begin work on ordinances for solar power and data-center regulations; a local meat processor introduced new services.
Grant County Commissioners approved utility permit UTL-2026-003 on April 15, 2026, authorizing trenching to bury an electrical distribution line in Section 8, Township 136 North, Range 85 West.
Jason Albert presented the permit; Commissioner Al Roy Hochhalter moved to approve and Commissioner Marty Meyer seconded. The roll call vote was recorded as Meyer—aye, Hochhalter—aye, Chairman Alton Zenker—aye. No conditions or contingencies are recorded in the minutes.
The board also noted that the Planning and Zoning Board will begin drafting ordinances addressing solar-power installations and data-center regulations; the minutes record this as an action by Planning and Zoning rather than a motion by the commissioners.
Scott Gotta, who introduced himself as part owner of St. Anthony Meats, described new meat-processing and wholesale services now available in St. Anthony. That introduction was recorded as informational; no action or county approval for the business was recorded in the minutes.
These items appeared under routine business during the April 15 meeting; no dissenting votes or public objections are recorded in the minutes.
