APC discuss wind farm regulations

As a crowd of about 60 people stated and restated their opposition to placing large wind turbines in Wells County during Thursday's Area Plan Commission meeting, a discussion on expanding setbacks for the turbines suddenly turned into a wind farm ban.

So next month, when the Wells County APC meets, its members will have an opportunity to keep any further wind farms out of Wells County.

During Thursday's meeting, William Morris — a member of the Wells County Concerned Citizens, a group opposed to the placement of wind farms in the county — came to the speaker’s table at the front of the multi-purpose room at the Wells Carnegie Government Annex, and with the permission of Jerome Markley, president of the APC, he then proceeded to read a five-page statement to the commission.

Read the entire statement here. Learn more in the Friday, Dec. 7, News-Banner.
