EMILY COUNCIL VOTES FOR EIS

The Emily City Council decided Tuesday night to require the developers of the Northern Lights Over Roosevelt project to complete an environmental impact study. The Planning and Zoning Commission had decided last month that the more expensive and inclusive study was not needed and City Planner Chuck Marohn had said the study was not necessary. The project has been opposed by a number of Roosevelt Lake homeowners who have insisted the study is necessary to ensure the lake's environment is protected. The project north of Emily straddles State Highway 6.
