Covington County Commission adopts resolution opposing proposed carbon-capture project
Summary
The Covington County Commission voted to adopt a resolution and send a letter opposing a proposed carbon-capture project described in the packet as potentially coming to the "Oaxaca area," following remarks from the district commissioner and a brief public call to action. The documents will be forwarded to the named state and regional authorities.
The Covington County Commission on Jan. 15 voted to adopt a resolution and an accompanying letter opposing a proposed carbon-capture project that speakers said could be sited near the county.
District 3 Commissioner (S6) urged adoption, saying the affected community "will stick together and we will make it happen," and the commission approved sending the resolution and letter to the authorities listed in the packet. Chair (S1) said commissioners could adopt one document, both, or neither; the body chose to adopt both by voice vote.
The documents included a draft resolution and a separate letter intended for the governor and the oil-and-gas board, according to materials in the commissioners' packet (pages 45———48). Commissioners discussed distributing the letters to additional recipients and noted a related public meeting that evening at Floral High School.
