DIXON – Lee County voters will get another chance to vote on electrical aggregation: The County Board voted unanimously Tuesday to put the measure on the April 9 ballot.

Electrical aggregation gives local governments the authority to negotiate lower electricity rates based on the aggregated power needs of small businesses and community members who choose to participate.       

A majority of voters in 12 Sauk Valley communities voted in favor of electrical aggregation in March, and more than a dozen more cities, villages and townships in the Sauk Valley approved local aggregation on Nov. 6.
