Residents protest Weld site for PRPA power plant
Residents opposing the proposed PRPA power plant site near Black Hollow Reservoir voiced concerns at a Fort Collins hearing. Speakers argued benefits to Weld County are limited, questioned limestone use, and urged keeping plant construction in the towns of Loveland, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Estes Park. PRPA officials defended site choice citing fewer problems, payroll benefits, and a cooling lake recreation area, while noting potential costs to local governments and water supply considerations.
