In a special meeting tonight held on Mr. Lincoln's Square in Clinton, the DeWitt County Board voted 6 to 5 to pass a special use permit by Tradewind Energy for their proposed Alta Farms II wind project.

The motion passed with several amendments.  It's not yet known if the amendments will slow or stop the project.

The meeting was broadcast live on all of WHOW's platforms.  Extensive reaction from both sides, will be in WHOW and WEZC local newscasts tomorrow, as well as posted on dewittdailynews.com.
