During the citizens to be heard portionof the meeting, Dr. Michael Noll
reiterated concerns his wife, Karen, presented to the board during its
last meeting regarding the proposed Wiregrass Biomass Plant.

Noll spoke about his concerns with the project and lack of straight
answers he has received from the Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial
Authority’s (VLCIA).

During a meeting held Monday night, members of the VLCIA met with area schools,
Noll said, ignoring their concerns about the biomass plant.

Further, he said, the should be looking into the health of the citizens
and the economy.

At one point, Chairman Ashley Paulk asked Noll to stick to the facts
and not make any accusations against the VLCIA, as he would not allow
them to make accusations toward him.

Michael concluded voicing his concerns with the dangers of the biomass
plant, backed by research and study results.

“We owe it to our children, our neighbors and friends,”
Noll said, to make wise decisions about the project.
