I'm guessing your only shot would be to get to any public input meetings on the subject. If they are making 2 different options public, I would assume they are looking for public comment on the matter? Get your neighbors together and get your ducks in a row. "We don't want it here because we don't want it here" will not get you anywhere.
As a surveyor, I've seen lots of unhappy landowners. I've been yelled at by them while doing initial surveys for a new road they didn't want. Its not like I decided the road was going there! One case in particular sticks out in my mind. There was a couple that had purchased a house and an acre or two out of a larger tract from the heirs of a pretty secluded property. A couple years later, the heirs decided to go ahead and break up the rest of the property and sell them off for more houses. That couple called me up, asking what they could do to stop it. "We bought out here because it is secluded." I didn't know what to tell them. They were very nice to me, so I stopped short of saying, "If you want control over 80 acres, you gotta buy 80 acres." But that's what I was thinking.
