(Fairfax, IA) -- Fairfax officials are still hopeful that Alliant Energy will choose their community for a new power plant.
City Council is tabling a second reading of an ordinance that would create an exception to allow construction of a power plant within city limits.
Alliant Energy announced last week that they were looking a several other locations after opposition to the Fairfax location by several groups including Eastern Iowa Airport.
There are concerns smokestack output from the plant could interfere with the path of a proposed new runway.
