CULPEPER BOARD DENIES POWER PLANT REZONING

The Culpeper County Board of Supervisors has rejected Transco Energy Ventures Co.'s proposal to rezone 31 acres for construction of a power plant.

Citing environmental issues and the county comprehensive plan, the board voted 7-0 early Thursday after a five-hour meeting. About 150 people attended the public hearing; most of the 43 speakers opposed the co-generation plant.

The supervisors said questions on water usage and noise were unresolved. Supervisor Brad Rosenberger said a project of such magnitude should not be approved without an independent environmental study. - Associated Press
