AI Summary

The Linn County Board of Supervisors unanimously rejected a rezoning application for the Morgan Valley Energy Center, a proposed three‑unit, single‑cycle gas‑fired plant by Interstate Power and Light Company, an Alliant Energy subsidiary. The decision followed a deadlocked Linn County Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, where three commissioners voted against and three voted for the rezoning, leaving the commission without a recommendation. The board’s 3‑0 vote effectively blocks the proposed plant’s location in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
