Kerr Co - new BESS resolution

A new resolution in Kerr County in the fight against Battery Energy Storage Systems.  The Commissioners Court unanimously approved the resolution requiring BESS developers to submit full documentation demonstrating compliance with all applicable state or national safety and fire codes and standards and all laws and orders pertaining to critical infrastructure security for the court's approval prior to initiating construction.
