In a new energy economy – especially in wind – there’s all sorts of ways to make the development happen.
Logan County Economic Development Director Dan Hartman has decided to see if county commissioners in northeastern Kansas are interested in teaming together to develop an integrated wind economy and infrastructure for wind-rich northwestern Kansas. The transmission picture in that part of the state is rapidly changing, with new lines coming in and old ones being upgraded.
Logan County is hosting a 13 county summit on August 13 from 10 a.m. to noon in Oakley, KS at the Colonial Steakhouse. There will be almost 40 county commissioners there. The purpose is to discuss various possible models of wind development for that area of the state.
The public is welcome, and no registration is required. Just show on up.
