What is the August 12th vote about?
A vote is being held in order to determine the community’s level of support for developing the wind power project. Based on its outcome, MPPD will decide on whether or not to continue on to Phase II (performing studies, filing for permits and assembling financing). Due to the fact that a high level of community support is critical to getting investors to put up money for both Phase II and Phase III of the project, MPPD will not continue with the project unless there is strong community support. If the community is not enthusiastic about this project, MPPD will table the idea of an alternative to the diesel system until some other viable option arises.
