Webb County commissioners to consider 3 renewable energy zones

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Webb County commissioners will consider three renewable energy zones at their meeting Monday, Nov. 9.

The court will hold public hearings on two proposed wind projects and one solar project. The three zones would cover about 23,000 acres combined.

Commissioners will also consider accepting an Operation Lone Star grant of more than $3 million for border security.

They will consider applying for up to $1 million to repair or rebuild homes in colonias along Highway 359. The application would require a $200,000 county match.

The meeting is set for 9 a.m. Monday at the Webb County courthouse, 1000 Houston St.
