County Legislature to Consider Resolution Related to Wind Project Wednesday Night

April 26, 2017 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

The Chautauqua County Legislature will hold its monthly voting session tonight in Mayville.

  • READ THE MEETING AGENDA

Among the items on the agenda is a resolution allowing for an agreement that would allow a wind farm equipment provider to lease space on a vacant property on Roberts Rd., in order to store materials related to the Arkwright Wind project.

Last week the county legislature’s public facilities committee and Audit and Control Committee both debated the resolution, with some members voicing concern about the wind project, which has garnered opposition from residents in the immediate area where the large scale windmills would be built.

The $156 million wind farm project will involve 36 wind turbines being built with a maximum generating capacity of 78.4 megawatts- which is enough electricity to power approximately 31,500 households. The wind farm will span approximately 6500 acres of leased private land in the Towns of Arkwright and Pomfret.

Also tonight, the legislature will have a public hearing on the expansion plan for Castelli America, a cheese manufacturing company that opened last year and operates in the town of Harmony near Blockville.

Wednesday’s legislature meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the legislature chambers. It is open to the public and will also be streamed live on the county’s Facebook page.
