Ameren Plans Grand Tower Sale Even As Tax Appeal Pending
Ameren faced a reduced 2011 assessment for Grand Tower Energy Center to 109 million with the Jackson County Board of Review. The company appealed to the state's Property Tax Appeals Board, a decision still pending. Ameren filed a put option with the SEC on March 28 and began summer staffing April 1 for June to August operations, saying staffing will hinge on natural gas and electric market prices. The company notes this is the third year of summer hires and not tied to a sale.
