Panel reviews effects of wind
THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2010 LAFARGEVILLE — Members of the Orleans wind economics committee voiced a range of views on what the effects of a wind farm would be on property values in the town. Members of the committee, which met Wednesday night, are working on a report that will outline the economic effects for the school districts, participants and town and the effect of turbines in the viewshed on property values.
Leslie T. Henry, a committee member and real estate broker, reviewed a number of studies not sponsored by wind power proponents and looking at areas within 4 miles of a project. "There's a lot of variation," he said.
