CAPE VINCENT — It could be the 11th hour for the Town Council, so it has decided to move ahead with an amendment to the zoning law for wind energy development.

The proposed law does not contain overt restrictions on sound, either by an absolute number or by a number relative to ambient noise levels. That upsets members of the Wind Power Ethics Group, which has opposed proposed wind developments in the town and actions by town boards that have conflicts of interest.
