APEX says Audubon County wind project "going very well," enters phase 2
Summary
APEX representative Rob Welch told the Audubon County Board on Aug. 13 that the county wind-turbine project is entering phase 2, will host a landowner dinner in September and has drawn strong local interest.
Rob Welch, a representative of APEX, briefed the Audubon County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 13 that the county wind-turbine project is "going very well" and is starting phase 2. He said APEX will host a landowner dinner in September and that community response has been positive.
The update came during the board's regular meeting; Welch did not present new permitting documents or request board action. The company reported high local interest but did not supply a timeline for construction milestones or a schedule of public meetings beyond the planned landowner dinner.
Why it matters: large energy projects can affect county property, roads and taxes as they move from planning to construction. Board members did not take any formal action on the project at this meeting.
Welch said APEX had encountered polite public engagement to date. The board recorded the update for the record and proceeded to other agenda items.
