Public commenter says Glendive Wind is cancelling Prairie County contracts; urges dropping lawsuit
Summary
A resident told the board Glendive Wind has notified county attorneys it is canceling contracts in Prairie County and suggested the county withdraw a pending judicial review to avoid spending attorney fees if the company is leaving.
During the public comment period, a resident (Speaker 7) said they had an email indicating Glendive Wind is canceling all contracts in Prairie County and handed a copy to county attorneys.
The commenter urged officials to "drop the lawsuit today" to save the county the expense of attorney travel and court time if the company is departing. Board staff received the copy and agreed to include it in county files; county staff asked for a copy to be provided to the county attorney for review.
Board members did not make a formal decision on the pending judicial review during the recorded segment; staff indicated they would review the notice with county attorneys and follow up as needed. The public commenter gave the board a copy of the email and urged open consideration of whether the case remained necessary.
