The Surry County Planning Commission has recommended approval of a coal-fired power plant to the Dendron Town Council and SurryÂ’s Board of Supervisors, according to The Virginian-Pilot.

The county had asked the planners to review questions on changes required to SurryÂ’s and DendronÂ’s comprehensive plans to allow construction of the Old Dominion Electric CooperativeÂ’s $6 billion plant.

The plant would become VirginiaÂ’s largest coal-fired plant.

Opponents are concerned about the effect of emissions from the plant.
