wind generators for our community under the "election" thread.
One of our members suggested off-forum that John Persell would be a good one to
talk to about the feasibilty studies done in the past for the band. I emailed
John and he referred me to Brandy Toft at the DRM. I spoke with her about
wnating to learn more and she agreed to meet sometime. I'm working on that and
will relay what I learn to the forum and maybe in the CL Times as well.
I know a bio-diesel plant was discussed for the southside of the city as well
at one point and then talks seemed to have stalled. I wonder where that plan is
at, if anyone can speak to that. Also, I wonder about the benefit of partnering
our local governing boards together (Band, city, township, forest service) to
present a unified front in searching for funds. That has been talked about in
applying to the State for funding but with government money so tight, what
about as a unified front in applying for grants? Working toward developing a
board/committee with representatives from each to seek resources.
What do those with more experience know about these kind of possibilities?
