LeeCo Commissioners have adopted a resolution that agrees the gas plant should be moved out of Blue!

 In a nutshell, here's Move the Gas Plant's reaction to Lee County's new resolution :

 

“The resolution passed by the commissioners is not as direct or focused in its conclusion as we preferred.  However, we do think it conveys support by the county for our position – that the gas plant does not belong in our community and that there are other feasible, suitable and less damaging locations for that facility.”


See our "NEWS" page for more details,  the RESOURCES page for the resolution as adopted, plus local media reports. 


SEE BELOW SLE's map showing SURROUNDING RESIDENCES.   


MTGP-PROPOSED MAPS of three alternate sites (A, B and C) for the gas plant as proposed to the Commissioners,  are on the RESOURCES page -- the sites are all on SLR property with fewer residences near them, but still in Lee County. 


(Move the Gas Plant still prefers siting the plant where it belongs --- on the old Alcoa industrial site near Rockdale ---while the Commissioners want the tax revenue from a Lee County site. )


APRIL 8 UPDATE:  GO TO THE RESOURCES AND NEWS PAGES TO READ THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE APRIL 3 STORY ON MTGP!


PLEASE NOTE!


 **We have launched a new page on our Website --- the NEWS page, where you will find new content that in the past was found on the HOME page.


We will still post outside media and other information on the RESOURCES page, but NEWS will be more of a blog, offering  and preserving information on a variety of topics, with links to any related RESOURCES. Banners or other notices will still appear on the HOME page to alert you to NEWS.


Blog posts will be sent to our subscribers to our newsletter --- scroll down to "Contact Us".




And PLEASE donate to put our community's interest on its best footing.

WHY move the Gas Plant? SLE's map of 309/312 site is WHY!

Map of proposed 309/312 power plant site with nearby residences, submitted to TCEQ by Sandow Lakes Energy.



Read about US , be INFORMED, DONATE and CONTACT us as we  come together to "Move the Gas Plant" 

away from the rural community of Blue in Lee County to a more appropriate location for a 

1200 MW natural gas power generation plant. 


Each of the above "red houses" were located on this map SLE submitted to TCEQ to show how many residences are within a certain distance of the proposed site. Each represents a family residence within a 1.5 mile radius of the proposed plant (site at corner of CR 309 and CR 312 outlined in red), amid private farms and ranches, and very near the historic Adina Christian Church and also near River View Christian Academy. The church was founded by an ancestor of a close neighbor to the power plant site. Needless to say, neither old nor new residents of the Blue community expected they would ever be put in this position when they settled in our beautiful part of rural Lee County. 


If your residence or property is inside either the blue circle (3,000 ft. radius) or the yellow circle (1.5 mi. radius), please send us a message ASAP if you haven't already!

JANUARY 28, 2025.

Thank you to Julie Drake, Charlotte Leonard, Trish Siler and Rachel Cain Bailey for your heartfelt messages on October 17, 2024 about how intrusive, bewildering, and concerning SLE's plan to locate a power plant less than a mile from your property is to you and your families.
