Kingman, Arizona is the ideal area for creating "green" or sustainable programs. In the last few months, probably the last few years, there has been a huge amount of development that wants to create solar farms, wind farms and biodiesel plants.
This week has been an extremely active week trying to get approval for a biodiesel plant and also a solar farm in the Kingman area.
These two entities have brought their presentations to the county planning and zoning commision for Mohave County on Wednesday of last week and also this Wednesday. There has been a small contingency in the area where these programs want to build their plants that say they want progress but "nimby" - not in their backyard.
With the support of the Kingman/Golden Valley Association of REALTORS that brought forward solid reasons to have the businesses in the area, the County voted to approve their request for a zoning use permit.
While I can understand the easoning behind the group that doesn't want the businesses here, I thin that they are not looking at the "big" picture in that jobs, tax revenue and growth in the area would benefit the whole county in this market of slow economy.
