Wind farm opponents meet

ERIE — Opponents of a proposed wind farm project in Neosho County met last week to discuss the proposal, The Chanute Tribune reported. About 30 attended the meeting to share results from their research on wind projects in Kansas and other states. They cited decreased property values, increased taxes to compensate for valuation losses and for decommissioning abandoned wind turbines as problems other counties and states confront. Apex Clean Energy is planning a wind energy generation project on 40,000 acres in Neosho County.
