Bill W. Sharp, Vice Chair of the
Putnam Development Authority noted Georgia Power had water permits
and asked three things at
the Georgia Public Service Commission meeting Tuesday 18 June 2013:
-
Currently Georgia Power has a permit to use water from Lake Sinclair.
We would ask to use this permit for the
for the economic development of Putnam County. -
We would ask you to encourage Georgia Power to assist in bringing
new industry to our area through their vast network of economic development. -
…commit to maintain the current full level of Lake Sinclair and Lake
Oconee in order to continue the developments around the lake.
Chairman Eaton said the PSC was in a difficult position.
Sharp said he understood business and praised Georgia Power yet again, but:
From our standpoint
we’d like them to help us get on with life
and make life better in Putnam County
by helping us find this development.
Let’s go out and create some new ideas.
And they can do that.
And we’d like you to encourage them with your power and your prowess.
