Sierra Club Iowa Responds: Local Officials Reject Re-zoning Request for Alliant’s Morgan Valley Gas Plant
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — The Linn County Board of Supervisors denied a rezoning application for the proposed Morgan Valley Energy Center in a unanimous 3-0 vote last night.
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.
