Nearly a month after Gov. Scott Walker announced an initiative to bring biodigesters into Kewaunee County to convert animal waste into electricity on a wide scale, county officials are still waiting to hear any details about the project.

Members of the Kewaunee County Land & Water Conservation Committee on Tuesday expressed concern about the proposal, which the governor announced Nov. 17 during a gathering at the Heritage Farm south of Kewaunee.
