Wind Turbine Debate Rages On In Seneca County

7/25/18 – 7:18 A.M.

The debate about wind turbines in Seneca County carries on. The Review-Times reports several people spoke about the issue at Tuesday’s county commissioners meeting. Community members questions Commissioners Holly Stacy and Shayne Thomas about their stance on wind turbines. They said the “majority” of the community seems to oppose a wind project in the eastern part of the county.

Stacy and Thomas said their job is to work to serve the greater good of the county. Stacy also pointed out there’s no data to show the majority of the county is against wind turbines. She added that supporters have less incentive to be vocal because two projects are moving forward.

Published reports say that even if the commissioners voted to rescind zoning for wind turbines, it wouldn’t affect projects approved back in 2011.
