As a new member of Grant County's leadership team, Michelle is eager to deepen her understanding of renewable energy siting and related issues. This peer exchange is an excellent opportunity for her to learn from experienced rural county leaders and national experts about successes and challenges in renewable energy siting, community engagement, permitting processes, and the economics of energy generation. The event's focus on practical solutions and peer learning will greatly benefit Michelle as she works to advance Grant County's renewable energy goals. By participating in this peer exchange, Michelle will gain valuable knowledge and insights that will help her more effectively support Grant County's efforts to responsibly site renewable energy projects and foster strong community involvement. We fully support her application and believe this experience will strengthen her ability to lead in this critical area.
