Nebraska Public Power District was granted preliminary approval on
Wednesday to negotiate to buy more land at the former Cornhusker Army
Ammunition Plant.

The power company had already been designated to buy more than 1,600
acres for construction of a potential coal-fired power plant but could
buy another 483 acres based on Wednesday's action.

The Hall County reuse committee also designated 877 acres to the Central
Platte Natural Resources District for flood control and designated 724
acres to be sold at public auction.

Final action is to be taken during a meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday by the
Hall County Board of Supervisors.

Being designated as a buyer of land at the former ammunition plant gives
the designee the right to negotiate exclusively with the Army to
purchase the land.
