Project Enhancements

Project Enhancements is a funny term, but $5 million for the Lesterville area is real important. Ameren has posted a page on its web site with information about making recommendations for this project. While they do not define "near the plant" it is good to see that they are going to stick to actual wording in the "agreement" with FERC, and not use the phrase "community improvments" or "local improvments" as some local businesses and county officials have interpreted the process. According to the KSDK story, DNR chief Childers says JayNixon will soon administer a $5 million fund provided by Ameren to help economic development in the flood area. I don't know that this is infact true, I'll have to keep digging on this topic.
