Alan Palmer, the owner of Farm on Route 66, captured this photo of the Cholla Generating Station from horse property in Joseph City. The coal fired plant is set for final closure in April after 63 years of operation, which has been an ongoing concern for residents in the community and throughout the region as its closure ends an era of good jobs and tax income for the local school, and leaves behind economic uncertainty as there are no plans for repurposing the plant at this time.
