The land area being considered for the zone designation, contains approximately 38,567 total acres, more or less, and is located in North West Cooke County, Texas, to be used for the construction of the Muenster Wind Farm. At the hearing, interested persons are entitled to speak and present evidence for or against the zone designation. Following the public hearing, the County Commissioners Court may consider at the public meeting the approval and designation of all or a part of the aforesaid land area as a tax abatement reinvestment zone. Notice of the aforesaid public meeting and hearing shall be given by the County in the manner required by law.
