Dear Editor, The landowners in Gregory and Charles Mix Counties affected by Gregory Co. Pumped Storage Project received a letter dated May 23, 2023 stating that “MidAmerican and MRES have decided not to pursue the project “at this time” and applied to FERC to surrender their permit application which remained in effect until June 30, 2023. They stated the project was terminated due to financial reasons and market value fluctuations. They also stated “Landowner Opposition” had nothing to do with their decision. Of course, we would like to think we had something to do with the termination, but we’ll probably never know.

We hope this is the last we will see of this lack of common sense project in our areas. But we all need to keep doing our do diligence to keep our land safe for our future generations. Eminent Domain is a large concern! This will be a hot topic at the next legislature. Be sure to support getting the law changed.

We had so much moral and financial support from so many people within the state and out of state. Way above and beyond our expectations and so much appreciated Still supporting the people. Citizens Against Gregory Co. Pumped Storage Project Sue Chytka Member
