Impact analysis
Valar says the site's assessed value could eventually exceed the entire current assessed value of Carbon County, easing property tax pressure on residents.
Residents through jobs, a larger tax base, and potential lower power rates if the project interconnects with Rocky Mountain Power.
Neighbors concerned about heat, noise, truck traffic on East Colet Creek Road, and long-term nuclear safety bear the project's risks.
