From Keith’s blog and other sources I have some news out of the Page County Board of Supervisors’ meeting last night, re: the Fibrowatt Proposal. I’ll just quote Keith’s lead paragraph here:
“By unanimous vote, the Page County Board of Supervisors decided to send a letter to Fibrowatt thanking them for their informational effort, but telling them there was not a place for them in Page County.”
As before, the session was well attended with more than 200 concerned citizens. There was a group that wore stickers saying “I love Page County. Hear my voice” – sentiments that echo a couple of the supervisors’ closing remarks on March 2.
While this effort is not an outright ban of biomass power plants in Page County it does underscore the public opinion that combustion or incineration based plants probably don’t have a role in the county’s future economy.
There were other developments at the meeting, but I don’t have full details so cannot report them at this time.
For convenience, a link to Keith’s post is here: http://lurayva.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/board-says-thanks-but-no-thanks/
