GREENWICH NEIGHBORS UNITED HOST
COMMUNITY EVENT
Greenwich Neighbors United (GNU) is hosting an event for the community to
discuss the potential Greenwich Windpark development. The proposal is
pending before the Ohio Power Siting Board, (Case #13-99-EL-BGN). The event,
Soups, Songs, and Sam is scheduled for February 22 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm
at South-Central (K-8) School.
Kevin Ledet, Chairperson for GNU, said Some members of the community are
very engaged in the issue of the possibility of wind turbines being erected in
Greenwich and they want to know what they can do to stop them. There are
other members of the community who are just learning about the wind turbines
and are thirsty for more information. So, we decided to host a casual event, with
some entertainment and an opportunity for our attorney, Sam Randazzo, to bring
the community up-to-date on the case and other developments about wind
energy in Ohio.
Matt Missey, local celebrity and wood carver, will be performing that night and is
donating one of his original wood sculptures to be raffled off.
The Ohio General Assembly continues to look at the issue of wind energy
through the Energy Study Mandate Committee which is having its next meeting
on February 5 at the Statehouse. In addition, the Ohio Power Siting Board
requested comments from the public about proposed rule changes that modify
the minimum distance or setback requirements that apply to wind farms. These
issues will be discussed at the February 22 nd event. All members of the
community are invited.
