Linn County supervisors approve Morgan Valley host fee.

Linn County supervisors approve Morgan Valley host fee. It would total $7.3 million over Alliant power plant's lifetime. * Fern Alling The Gazette * Oct 14, 2026 updated 4 hrs ago. The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced. CEDAR RAPIDS - The Linn County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday approved a host fee to cover county costs related to hosting the proposed Alliant Energy's Morgan Valley Energy Center, assuming it gains regulatory approved. To build the 720-megawatt, natural gas-fired electricity plant, Alliant Energy submitted an application to rezone agricultural land in unincorporated Linn County. The fee - called a host community agreement - is required as part of the rezoning application. Approval of the host community agreement is not an approval of the rezoning application. The Board of Supervisors' first consideration of the application is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20, pending a recommendation for or against the application from the county Planning and Zoning Commission, scheduled to meet the night before. Both meetings begin at 6 p.m. at The Hotel by Kirkwood Center, 7725 Kirkwood Blvd. SW in Cedar Rapids. The board voted 2-1 in favor of the agreement, with Supervisors Sami Scheetz, a Democrat, and Brandy Zumbach Meisheid, a Republican, in favor, and Supervisor Kirsten Running-Marquardt, a Democrat, opposed. Under the agreement, Alliant will pay Linn County $5.3 million while building the Morgan Valley Energy Center near the Linn-Benton county line northwest of Fairfax. After the plant is built, Alliant will provide around $50,000 a year for 30 years, which is how long the facility is expected to operate. That payment includes a 2% escalator each year. In total, the county would receive $7.3 million for hosting the plant. The agreement will apply even if the property changes hands. If the facility expands by 10% or more, the county will renegotiate terms with Alliant. Under a new state law capping property tax increases, the county will not see a significant increase in revenue from hosting the facility, Linn County Planning and Development Director Charlie Nichols said. "Although a power plant like the Morgan Valley Energy Center would pay property taxes, the county would not realize that in new revenue that it is then able to pay for any services that the county has to provide as a result of that new project," Nichols said. The agreement will cover costs associated with the facility - like emergency response, environmental monitoring and road maintenance. The host community agreement will prevent Linn County residents from shouldering costs, whether or not the project moves forward with county approval, Scheetz said. If the Iowa Utilities Commission decides the Morgan Valley Energy Center is necessary to meet the state's energy needs, Alliant can build it even if the county rejects the rezoning application. "This agreement, while I don't love it, is a good way for us to protect the county, to protect our residents and taxpayers," Scheetz said. Supervisor Running-Marquardt said Alliant has been difficult to work with compared to NextEra Energy, the owner of the Duane Arnold nuclear energy plant near Palo. The county negotiated a host community agreement with NextEra as it works toward restarting the plant. While she said she appreciated the effort Linn County staff put into negotiating the agreement with Alliant, Running-Marquardt voted against it. "Because of all of my concerns, not only for the project, for unanswered questions, for the no guarantee that rates won't be passed on to the citizens of this community that I dearly love, I'm going to give no on today's vote," Running-Marquardt said, Public comment. Public comment largely centered on long-standing issues residents have cited with Alliant's application, such as the plant's environmental health impacts and a lack of input from Benton County officials in decision-making. Fairfax Mayor JoAnn Beer told the board the city of Fairfax is including a host community agreement as part of its proposed data center ordinance. She said the amount Linn County will receive for hosting the Morgan Valley Energy Center "seems extremely modest in comparison." "I have mixed emotions regarding host community agreements that are part of rezoning requirements," Beer said. "While they may provide a path for city or county financial benefits, they also take on the appearance of a price tag being placed on quality of life." Nichols said Linn County's host community agreement amount was determined through cost estimates associated with the plant from county departments. The Iowa Utilities Commission has final approval over the agreement, Nichols said. "I would have liked to see a little bit more, but we also exist in a process where the Iowa Utilities Commission will have the ultimate say over this project," Nichols said. "We were very cognizant of trying to be as reasonable and conservative as we could and not overestimate our costs." Fern Alling is a general assignment reporter for The Gazette.

Linn County to weigh $5.3M host fee for Alliant gas plant.

Linn County to weigh $5.3M host fee for Alliant gas plant. Utility would cover county costs for Morgan Valley Energy Center. * Grace Nieland The Gazette * Oct 9, 2026 updated 1 hr ago. The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced. CEDAR RAPIDS - Alliant Energy would pay Linn County at least $5.3 million to construct a new 720-megawatt natural gas plant, according to a proposal headed to county supervisors next week. The Linn County Board of Supervisors on Monday will discuss a proposed host community agreement with Interstate Power and Light Company - a subsidiary of Alliant Energy - for the proposed Morgan Valley Energy Center. Alliant intends to build the natural gas plant in unincorporated Linn County south of Highway 30 near Linn-Benton Road, pending regulatory approvals. The host community agreement is required to rezone the land. The draft agreement - included in the supervisors' Monday's agenda packet - states Interstate Power and Light would pay an initial sum of $5.3 million into a "host community fund" to cover county costs associated with the project. That initial payment would be split into four annual contributions of $1.325 million, with the first payment required within 60 days of construction starting. The rest would be paid out over the next three years. An additional $50,000 payment would be made to the county during the first year of commercial operations, with a series of 30 annual payments to follow using a 2% annual inflation increase. The articles in this timeline follow Alliant Energy's initial plans to build a natural gas-fired power plant - known as the Morgan Valley Ener... County documents state those funds would be used "to support government functions, facilities, infrastructure and community initiatives... reasonably related to, or beneficial for, hosting (Morgan Valley Energy Center) and promoting long term economic, social and environmental sustainability." Examples of such functions include infrastructure maintenance or upgrades, environmental monitoring, economic development, intergovernmental coordination and emergency response planning, among others. The Morgan Valley agreement is listed for discussion only, meaning there will be no vote on Monday. Public comment on the topic will be heard, however, and a public hearing on the related rezoning request is set for Oct. 20. Alliant's plan. Alliant Energy first notified the public in late March of its plans to build a 720-megawatt natural-gas-fired electricity plant in unincorporated Linn County and has been working since to obtain the necessary permits. Required approvals include one from the Iowa Utilities Commission confirming a need for the plant, one with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Linn County Public Health that confirms the plant meets regulatory requirements for air quality, and one with Linn County to rezone the land. Alliant representatives say the plant will add well-paid, local jobs while ensuring the region has reliable energy amid growing demand. Opponents, however, counter that the plant won't benefit residential ratepayers and argue that environmental health concerns need to be considered. The Linn County Planning & Zoning Commission last month opted to table a vote on whether to recommend rezoning the site, citing a desire for more information from Alliant about the project and how it could better fit into the county's comprehensive plan. The commission will meet again to discuss the matter at 6 p.m. Oct. 19 at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center, 7725 Kirkwood Blvd. SW. Linn County supervisors will hold the first of three votes on the matter the following day. County staffers have collected information about the Morgan Valley Energy Center on the county website for residents' review. Those details can be found on the county's Planning and Development page by navigating to the natural gas electric facilities tab. Grace Nieland covers local government for The Gazette.

Atkins says Alliant land split puts site 1.7 miles from Atkins and Fairfax, not 2.25

Atkins says Alliant land split is too close to city boundaries. by Nada Shamah Fri, August 28, 2026 at 12:14 PM Atkins says Alliant land split puts site 1.7 miles from Atkins and Fairfax, not 2.25. LINN COUNTY, Iowa - On Thursday, Iowa's News Now told you that the City of Atkins is opposing the sale of part of a 160-acre plot of land in unincorporated Linn County to Alliant Energy. The owner, Bowland Farms, has a purchase agreement with Alliant and the sale is for the proposed Morgan Valley Energy Center. Earlier this week, Atkins city leaders sent a letter to the Linn County Planning and Zoning Commission opposing Alliant's request to rezone the just over 10 acres, from agriculture use to exclusive use. The change would allow for large scale facilities like industrial and energy facilities. Atkins City Administrator Scott Flory says changing any part of the land to fit something industrial does not go along with what the city envisions for the future. He also says the area is closer that the 2.25-mile ordinance requirement. "The applicant is taking the measurement from the lot that is not yet created. So, we would disagree with how the applicant has determined that measurement. In our measurement, both the City of Atkins, as well as the City of Fairfax are equally 1.7 miles from this proposed parcel split," Flory said. Alliant has already filed a rezoning application with the Linn County Planning and Zoning Commission. Flory says the city will be at the meetings, speaking out against the proposal. "We want to make it clear that we oppose the industrialization of high-quality productive farm ground, which this is frankly some of the best farm ground in Benton County, probably Iowa and maybe even in the country," he said. Flory also expressed concern about the pollution that would come along with the gas plant, and concerns about air and water quality and the increase of pollution. CBS 2 Iowa reached out to Boland Farms and did not get a response. Alliant Energy sent CBS 2 Iowa the following statement: Input from local governments and community members is a common part of the review process, and Linn County will consider information submitted by interested parties as part of its evaluation of the rezoning request. The Morgan Valley Energy Center site complies with the 2.25-mile setback from population areas that was established by the Linn County Board of Supervisors and remains a critical project to help meet growing energy demand and strengthen the energy system that customers and communities depend on every day. CBS 2 Iowa remain focused on delivering reliable, cost-effective service for customers while participating fully in the review process. The meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission will be on September 28th. Members of the commission will then present their decision to the Linn County Board of Supervisors for the final ruling. That meeting will likely be in October. SPONSORED CONTENT MORE TO EXPLORE
