County Commissioner Response to Horse Creek Resident Concerns — June 2026

Commissioner Don Hollingshead responded that the Board of County Commissioners had not received an application, reviewed site plans or supporting studies, or taken a position for or against the Horse Creek proposal. His response also acknowledged residents' concerns about the area's rural character and potential project impacts.

The email establishes the County Commission's stated position at that time: the Board had not yet evaluated the project or taken a position. This is separate from what County Planning staff may already have known or discussed with Black Hills Energy.
