- Nearly 50 people gathered at the American Legion Post on a July evening to learn about a proposed natural gas plant.
- The natural gas plant under consideration was less than three miles from town.
- Attendees sat in folding chairs and used their phones to type responses to the question, “How are you feeling?”
- The captured responses included the word “angry,” directly recording the sentiment expressed at the gathering.
Why it matters: For residents, the gas plant plan has become a visible local dispute: nearly 50 attended a July meeting, phones recorded “angry,” and the proposed site sits less than three miles from town. The immediate consequence is public scrutiny of the plant’s location, centered on objections from the people who live closest.
