Dear Editor, Thank you for speaking with us about the Gregory County Pumped Storage Projec,t Late last month, more than 150 area residents, landowners, and community leaders gathered at two informational sessions to learn about the latest updates for the Gregory County Pumped Storage Project. The attendees heard details on the proposed land, wildlife, and water studies and were able to make comments and ask questions. We appreciate you taking time out of your day to attend, listen, and ask questions about your concerns. If you were unable to attend or catch the Facebook live stream, pick up a Feb. 1 copy of the Gregory Times-Advocate or the Burke Gazette, which have in-depth overviews of the information shared.
