RUTLAND — The Rutland Town Council voted to schedule a public hearing on a proposed 180-day moratorium on wind development and the construction of transmissions lines in Rutland for 7 p.m. April 12.

OwnEnergy, Brooklyn, is considering the construction of a wind farm of up to 80 megawatts in the town of Denmark. The company in December erected a meteorological tower off Wilson Road, just west of the hamlet of Denmark, to test wind speeds.
