County to vote on tax abatements

Jack County Commissioners will hold a meeting at 10 a.m. Monday, July 12 to consider the application of Lasso Wind, LLC, for the designation of a certain area of the county as a reinvestment zone for tax abatement.

Ever since the company submitted its application, commissioners have been met by a vocal opposition group.

North Texas Heritage Association (NTHA) members have been urging Jack County officials to not allow a wind farm to set up shop in the north part of the county, claiming they are trying to preserve their land.
