But first the Zoning Board of appeals must approve meteorological towers to determine the viability of a wind farm. Terry Ferguson (pictured right) updated the Board on a special landowners meeting at the DeWitt County Farm Bureau from earlier this week.

 

 

According to Ferguson, it was a good turnout for the session at the Farm Bureau office in Clinton. He explains it was timely as there is a renewed push for wind farms in DeWitt County.

 

 

Ferguson expressed concern about some language that would allow land owners signed up for the program who do not end up with a tower on their property but their land could be used as an avenue to a tower in another location.

 

 

The Zoning Board of Appeals will hear the requests for the meteorological towers on July 3 at 7 pm.
