Residents urge Prairie County to drop Glendive Wind lawsuit, say company has left
Summary
Multiple residents during public comment urged commissioners to stop county litigation involving Glendive Wind LLC, saying the company has left the county and continuing the suit would waste taxpayer money; several speakers also asked for permanent surveys to define Last Best Place Zoning District boundaries.
Several Prairie County residents used the public comment period on June 11 to urge the board to drop litigation connected to Glendive Wind LLC, which commenters said has left the county. Arron Martinson asked to speak and urged commissioners to "drop the lawsuit to save money," according to the minutes; other residents echoed that position, telling the board the company is no longer operating locally and that county legal expenses should be avoided.
Public commenters also raised technical concerns about the Last Best Place Zoning District, asking the county to conduct formal surveys to establish permanent boundaries and clarify setbacks rather than relying on informal markers such as fences. Christy Lyles and Kent Lyles emphasized the need for a recorded survey and permanent boundary lines so that district limits and setbacks are enforceable.
