Cherry Valley Ordinance May Eliminate Turbines

CHERRY VALLEY- Town supervisor Tom Garretson made it clear to Reunion Power that his first concern is the residents of Cherry Valley and not Reunion Power’s ability to put a wind farm on East Hill.

During Thursday night’s meeting in which the town board unanimously agreed to schedule a public hearing on a proposed wind ordinance, Garrestton said they needed a law “thats going to protect the town. That comes first.’’ He went on to say that if one developer finds they can not work within the confines of the town’s proposed wind ordinance then perhaps another developer can.

Cherry Valley plans hearing on development [Otsego]

Jul 31 2006 - 6:00pm
Jul 31 2006 - 9:00pm

The town of Cherry Valley will have a public hearing at 6 p.m. July 31 on whether to enact a 12-month moratorium on development.

The initiative comes after Reunion Power of Manchester, Vt., submitted an application to erect 24 wind turbines on East Hill. Project manager David Little has estimated the wind farm will cost about $100 million to build.

The public hearing will be held in the town garage because a large crowd is expected, Cherry Valley Supervisor Tom Garretson said Wednesday. Those who wish to speak will be allowed two minutes each.
