Tony,

 

     The following is the first paragraph of an e-mail that was sent out to us by Travis Lange and the Concerned Citizens group Saturday afternoon.  I guess the big news will officially come at the City Council meeting Tuesday night.  As Travis reached out to thank us for our efforts, I'd like to thank you for all your help.  Our battle is by no means over, but this will make it more difficult for the industry to set up shop close to St. Charles.

 

     "It is with great pleasure that I am writing this note to you all today. This morning, I sat down with Mayor Spitzer to discuss the proposed sand plant as well as many other items that were on my mind. The result of the meeting, in my opinion, was nothing but positive. On Tuesday evening, the Council will sign a resolution that states the City will NOT annex the property for the proposed frac sand facility. They are denying the three petitions that have been filed requesting annexation, which were filed by the three property owners associated with the proposed MN Proppant facility. There are numerous reasons listed for the reasoning of this decision, but the two that really jumped out at me were the Township’s stance on the proposed project, and the petition filed by the Concerned Citizens for St. Charles. A copy of the exact wording can be found on the City’s website. I learned today that as soon as the Council receives their packets on the Friday prior to the next Council meeting, the public can get a copy on the website or stop down at City Hall and request the packet."

 

Thanks again and I will try to keep you updated on Winona County activity.
