If you are interested in the approval process for this project:

• Register as a Person of Interest at http://www.mncppcapps.org/planning/Person_of_Record/default.cfm Use Mandatory Referral MR-2036F.
• Since the case hasn't as yet been filed, the hearing date hasn't been set.
• Per http://www.mncppc.org/544/Mandatory-Referral “Mandatory Referral is a review process through which all public sector development projects (from federal, state, and local governments) and public and private utilities are referred to the Planning Board for review. Because the Planning Board's decision and recommendations are advisory only, an applicant may overrule the Planning Board's disapproval and proceed with the proposed project. However, Planning Board recommendations can improve a project, and submitting agencies often adopt them.”
