Alliant Energy rep announces public coffee; board asks company to investigate farmer notification and local office during construction
Summary
During public comment at the May 12 Franklin County supervisors meeting, Holly McCoy-Nelson of Alliant Energy reminded the board of a public coffee event and said she would investigate farmer complaints about people working in fields and whether Alliant will staff a local office during construction.
Holly McCoy-Nelson, representing Alliant Energy, told the Franklin County Board of Supervisors during the May 12, 2026 meeting that the company will hold a public coffee at Rustic Brew on May 13 from 9 a.m. to noon and that she would follow up on concerns from farmers about people being out in their fields.
Supervisor Chris Vanness said he had received several phone calls from farmers asking whether they could be notified when crews would be in their fields and asked if Alliant planned to open a local office during construction so residents could stop with questions and concerns. McCoy-Nelson responded that she would investigate both the notification question and the possibility of a staffed local office during construction.
The minutes record that McCoy-Nelson will investigate the matters raised; no commitments or timelines were recorded in the minutes. The Board recessed for a drainage meeting at 9:00 a.m. and reconvened at 9:07 a.m.
