Cody Chilson of Dakota Natural Gas gives a presentation to the Rugby City Council April 5.
The Rugby City Council gave its support at its April meeting to a plan by energy firm Dakota Natural Gas for a feasibility study to bring natural gas to the community.
Cody Chilson, the firm’s vice president of operations, and Greg Palmer, president of the firm, presented their proposal to the council at its regular meeting April 5 at city hall.
The energy firm comes under the umbrella of Greater Minnesota Synergy and, according to Chilson, formed after American Crystal Sugar and the city of Drayton requested natural gas service.
