Almost 100 people turned out for a Town Hall meeting hosted by wind power project developer Columbia Energy Partners at the Harney County Fairgrounds on Dec. 10.

With hot dogs and hamburgers provided by the Lions Club, residents mingled  with representatives from the company before and after the program. The fairgrounds meeting was the fourth the company has held, with earlier meetings in Fields, Diamond and Crane in September.

“We really appreciate people taking the time to come meet with us and hear  about the projects we have planned in Harney County,” said Columbia Energy Partners’ President Chris Crowley.

“We look forward to working closely with  the people of Harney County to help make Harney County part of Oregon’s  renewable energy economy,” Crowley said.
