Quaint McHenry County town rocked by power plant proposal | |
August 08, 2014 The almost all-residential McHenry County town of Oakwood Hills, population 2,000, has been rocked by controversy over plans for a proposed 430-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant. Tempers have flared to the point the village government has been temporarily closed. "It's not just about this power plant going in. It's also about the secrecy that shrouded this whole thing," a resident said. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140808/news/140808802/ |
