Coal plant study touts big southwest Kansas economic gains
A Kansas State University analysis commissioned by Sunflower Electric concludes the 895 MW coal plant will boost Finney County and the state, generating about 350 million in annual economic activity, 260 plus permanent jobs, and over 41 million in annual tax revenue, outweighing irrigation water rights losses. The study follows a 2005 estimate and compares to two 650 MW units with similar construction costs.
