The Marshall County Commissioners will be discussing the original Wind Energy Conversion System ordinance amendments during their regular board meeting this morning at 8:30 a.m. ET.
The amendment asks for the placement of a wind turbine conversion system, or wind farm, 2,640 feet from any parcels zoned L-1 and T-1, which are lakes and town residential areas, and 2,640 feet from a house of a non-participating landowner, park, bank of a river, church, building, school wetlands or airstrips. Essentially, the amendment does not allow a wind energy conversion system farm anywhere in the Marshall County area.
