A citizen group has begun organizing opposition to the proposed power plant on the West Bay.

Traverse City Light and Power has proposed a wood-burning plant on a site owned by the utility in Leelanau's Elmwood Township. According to the Record-Eagle, the group has established a website, www.dontplantithere.org, which is collecting signatures for a petition opposing the siting of a power plant on the site of the old coal dock and storage area along M-22.
