Logan County Wind Farms to Benefit Mt. Pualski Schools

A school district in Logan County will get additional tax revenue down the road thanks to a decision by the Logan County Board.

 

The Logan County Board recently approved the development of two different wind farms that will be in the Mt. Pulaski school district. Superintendent Fred Lamkey says he is grateful for additional tax revenue.

 

 

Mr. Lamkey notes the district previously has benefited from wind farm tax revenue. Mt. Pulaski was able to use wind farm money to supplement the tax referendum when they redid the high school.

 

 

Lamkey states during his tenure property values in the Mt. Pulaski school district have risen exponentially due, to his belief, the wind farms. He explains the additional revenue will allow the district to plan for the future and cross projects off of their wishlist.

 

 

The Mt. Pulaski School Board at its next meeting will be putting together a capital project of what it would like to accomplish in the short term and the long term.
