COLUMBUS, Kans. – Cherokee County commissioners hold a public meeting to hear *more* of what folks have to say about a potential wind farm project.
The meeting took place Monday night at the County Courthouse in Columbus. That’s where residents also had the opportunity to hear from Neosho County officials about their experiences with a windfarm that’s already in operation there.
Cherokee County Commission Board Chair, Cory Moates, says the meeting is just as important for fellow commissioners, as it is for residents.
“There’s lots of pros and there’s lots of cons, and the thing is, the people put us in a position to protect them, and right now that is our main objective: To make sure we protect the citizens of Cherokee County,” says Moates.
