During the first week of June 2021, Albany County commissioners held a meeting for public comment on the Rail Tie Wind Project south of Laramie. Over the last couple of years, it's been a controversial subject that’s divided the community and led to hurtful attacks on social media.As part of our series "I Respectfully Disagree," Melodie Edwards sat down with folks on each side of the issue for a civil conversation. Kelly Schroeder with Better Wyoming is for the project and Peter Bishop with the Albany County Conservancy is against it. They came together in our conference room and started things off by sharing a meal.

Further, panelists will focus on rural revitalization efforts on a national scale and related economic development initiatives. The discussion will also reveal some of the global and innovative approaches select communities have embraced in order to save themselves and how communities can and should find power in collecting and sharing stories around their respective visions and goals.
