A representative of Snow Fox Discovery briefed the Audubon County Board of Supervisors on June 23 about plans for a potential hydrogen development on leased county parcels.
The presenter said land-leasing agreements would be complete by the end of June 2026 and that collected seismic data in the coming months would be used to identify a target for possible test drilling in 2027. The company representative described environmental baseline testing, groundwater and tile protection measures, and plans for site remediation and reseeding after construction. The presentation also noted the potential for local job openings as the project advances.
Board members heard the informational presentation but took no formal action; the presentation was delivered during the meeting’s agenda and public comment period. The board did not vote on any land-lease approvals or permits related to the hydrogen project at this session.
