Chairman Mark Pruett said the Board of County Commissioners is "100% in support of Terra Power bringing a nuclear power facility to Jackson County," and added he had not said that local residents were in favor.
Pruett made the clarification after a phone interview with a KSNT reporter and said he plans an in-person interview to provide further context. Commissioner Keith Kelly also told the board he supports bringing Terra Power to the county.
The board did not take formal action on the matter during the March 2 meeting, and the transcript records only the commissioners' statements of support and Pruett's plan to follow up with KSNT. No resident comments or formal public hearings on the proposal were recorded at this meeting.
