Open meetings lead to better governance

There’s been much ado about the actions of a new group created by the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners.

The Leelanau Energy Futures Task Force was established last fall to educate and advocate for renewable energy on the Leelanau peninsula.

The group has been meeting once a month since October 2023 and recently recommended the county Board of Commissioners seek a $1.5 million grant from the Michigan Public Service Commission’s (MPSC) Renewable Energy and Electrification Infrastructure Enhancement and Development Program.
