Hastings Picks Site for 75 Million Coal Plant
A Hastings power study committee recommends an 330 acre parcel east of Central Technical Community College for a $75 million 80 megawatt coal fired plant. Burlington Northern would sell at 2700 per acre. If approved, the plan goes to public works then planning and zoning and finally City Council. Construction could start early next year with completion in 1980. Hastings and Grand Island shifted from a joint Doniphan plant after the Nebraska Power Review Board rejected the idea.

Alliance Tax Formula Shortchanges Railroads Officials Say
Alliance officials say Nebraska’s railroad tax formula favors city track mileage over major terminals. School Supt. Martin Peterson notes Alliance gets little tax from its terminal facilities while Lincoln and Alliance see limited revenue. State Sen. Sam Cullan will study the issue amid expected opposition to changes. Burlington Northern tax agent Ray Durdala says cities miss full benefits due to the 100 year old plan. Peterson calls the method a political ballgame between urban and rural districts.
