According to the Mountain Home News, one of the new P&Z commissioners noted that this process has taken nearly 24 months, about 75% longer than other Idaho counties. It’s the same reason AEHI began looking at other counties several months ago.
Since then, the company cleared a similar hurdle on January 14, when Payette County P&Z Commissioners voted to change their comprehensive plan in favor of a nuclear power plant.
Don Gillispie, chairman and CEO of AEHI, said: “The process now comes down to the question of timely site approval as our stockholders and financial institutions are anxious to break ground on the Idaho project.
“We’ve seen a huge outpouring of support from people living in both areas and believe these recent decisions confirm that support.”
