      From the article

      Local media outlet *Wenatchee World* reported that [Helion made an announcement at a press conference on Thursday](https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/local/helion-announces-plans-for-worlds-first-fusion-power-facility-in-malaga/article_b3e64c6c-f552-11ef-a7c9-d39d8b8303bc.html), laying out its plans to lease a site in Malaga. The prospective project is located within Chelan County, and near the Rock Island Dam on the Columbia river. The land is owned by Chelan County Public Utility District.

      The company hasn’t yet signed an agreement, or secured the necessary permits. Helion will first invite Malaga residents to a local community event next month, where they can hear from founder David Kirtley and senior employees about their plans for the project.
