PROJECT STRENGTHS
Great location along Fox Lake
Good access to I 90
Plenty of electric service
High capacity natural gas
The site is already secure with perimeter fencing if desired
Has the possibility of it being a great multi tenant facility
PROJECT WEAKNESSES
Would likely be an expensive rebuild
Can it cash flow to support the expenses
PROJECT OPPORTUNITIES
Great for the area to have a gathering place for functions
PROJECT THREATS
May fail due to costs and lack of community support
GENERAL COMMENTS
The tour of the Fox Lake Power Plant took place on Wednesday August 22, 2018. Duane Fritz was our guide and we were able to see as much of the plant as we wanted to. He also took us on a tour of the grounds which included the island.
Alliant Energy has decommissioned the plant and is in the process of performing necessary environmental clean up of various things which include asbestos abatement. I have been in contact with Troy Booth and Jill Stevens of the decommissioning team which led to this opportunity. Alliant is giving us up to about 3 months to evaluate our interests in acquiring the plant and property. The group will now do some soul searching to see if this is something the area could support. I have sent out an email to the majority of the group summarizing things and introducing them to this media. Anyone with questions or comments should submit them on this site for now until we come up with an alternative. Thanks Scott Reimer General Manager, Federated REA
