☢️ Bannock County: What’s your take on Advanced Nuclear Energy?

Bannock County is partnering with Portneuf Valley Development to begin a preliminary effort to gauge resident interest about the potential role of advanced nuclear energy in our county's future.

Following a study by the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), our area was noted as a potential location for future industry development—ranging from hosting a reactor to establishing manufacturing businesses within the supply chain.

🗳️ We want to hear from you.
We invite all residents to share their perspectives by completing a brief survey. Your feedback will help officials understand the community's stance before any further steps are considered.

The survey is available now through April 9.
