FARMINGTON — An effort by Farmington officials to recover some of their costs associated with the now-shuttered San Juan Generating Station has drawn the backing of the San Juan County Commission.Commissioners voted unanimously on Jan. 3 during their meeting in Aztec in favor of a resolution supporting Farmington's legislative request for the recovery of the costs. Farmington was a part owner of the plant, which was shut down and decommissioned in the fall, and is seeking tens of millions of dollars from state lawmakers.
