Nemaha County Commission approves wind farm term sheet, site plan

Following months of meetings and discussion, the term sheet and site plan for the proposed Soldier Creek Wind Farm in southern Nemaha County were unanimously approved by the Nemaha County Commission on Wednesday, July 31, at the Community Building in Seneca.
The documents – and project as a whole – have created some heated debates for many months, all while county residents remained unsure of how the commissioners … would vote in the matter.
More than 100 county residents and NextEra Energy representatives were present during the meeting when commissioners gave their approval of the project, which is to be located in the southern half of Nemaha County. The project is supposed to house up to 132 wind turbines, which includes 120 primary sites and 12 alternate sites.
