The Lower Colorado River Authority scheduled a public meeting at 7:30 on Friday evening in the La Grange High School auditorium to provide details about its proposed Fayette County coal-fired electric generating plant. LCRA officials, along with those from Bechtel Power Corp., the consulting firm that recommended the Fayette County site, planned to attend. In a press release, LCRA General Manager Charles Herring said the discussion would address why LCRA needed a new power plant by 1978, why it must be coal-fired and why it should be built at the Cedar Creek site, what environmental considerations were involved and what the economic impact of the project would be on Fayette County.
