The Stark County Commission acknowledges it broke North Dakota's open meeting law in December by not telling the public it was meeting with the company planning to build a gasification plant and coal mine near South Heart.

It will rehold that meeting, invite the public and then take up a zoning request by Great Northern Power Development.

On Monday, the Stark County Planning and Zoning Commission met and recommended the county commission approve Great Northern's zoning application for the new coal mine.
