We have officially started getting media attention, and it's all because of each of you that have signed the petition, shared our posts, and voiced your concerns. We're just over a little more than a week out from the Planning Board Meeting where a final decision about the first BESS sites being approved in Benton County will be made. 

We've started to hear rumblings about other companies wanting to move in if these sites are approved. We need to make our voices heard with this first one and make sure there are regulations in place before we even consider whether to let a company move forward with building. 

We cannot thank each and everyone who has tried to help in any way, but the work isn't done yet. We want to reach 500 signatures by the meeting date and pack the house the night of the meeting. Please help us continue to work towards this goal by sharing and telling others.
