GREENLEAF – A decision on whether to grant BC Organics (BCO) a conditional use permit to build and operate a $60 million manure digester plant west of Greenleaf in the rural Town of Wrightstown could be coming within two weeks.

On Tuesday, September 10, Wrightstown Town Clerk Donna Martzahl noticed two meetings. In the first one, on Wednesday, September 18, the town Planning Commission will meet at 6 p.m. at the town hall to review the BCO petition for a conditional use permit that would allow the plant to be built on a farm field west of Old 57 Road and north of County IL (Mill Road). The Planning Commission has no say in the issuance of a permit, but will send its recommendation on to the full Town Board, which will meet to review, discuss and possibly take action on the permit. That meeting will be held on Monday, September 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Both meetings are open to the public and will be held at the town hall, 1527 Day Street. Neither is a public hearing, and so the public may speak only if the body holding the meeting permits public comment.
