Last week, Tradewind Energy submitted a second application for their Alta Farms II Wind Project and at the Thursday night DeWitt County Board meeting, the Board was informed there are some issues with the application.

Terry Ferguson chairs the Land Use Committee and indicates Zoning Administrator Angie Sarver has found a couple of incompletions in the latest application, among them are signatures regarding the leases of the land. This was brought up at the when the full board voted down the original application earlier this year. 

According to Ferguson, there are also issues surrounding the site plans of some of the turbines, which could conflict with County ordinances. 

With legal marijuana on the horizon in Illinois, Ferguson also indicates the Land Use committee is researching ordinances regarding not only sales of pot in the County, but the tax for it as well. He notes that have to be completed by January 1.
