The state Intermediate Court of Appeals dismissed environmental groups' appeals of the gas plant air permit on jurisdiction grounds, leaving the permit in force; the groups said they would take it to the state Supreme Court
Notes: Moved from chatter on Nov. 1, 2026. Could span up to 10,000 acres between two tourism towns; the air permit covers gas turbines with three 10-million-gallon diesel tanks for backup.
