Garden City officials and Wheatland Electric Cooperative reached a preliminary agreement to supply 21 000 KVA for 30 years from Wheatland’s new substation northeast of Garden City. The facility, expected online by September, aims to meet future power needs with a 42 000 KVA capacity. Payment schedules and facility charges are still under study with a 1998 review planned.
