It's too soon to say how members of the Arkansas Property Rights Association will view the project, said Don Day, the group's president.
"I doubt there will be a lot of opposition," he said. "I would think the people of Arkansas would recognize the need for alternative forms of energy. I think they would probably approve it." On the other hand, he said, environmentalists don't want the wind towers in their own backyard.
Dan Scheiman, bird conservation director for Audubon Arkansas, said the group would keep a close eye on the project.
"The National Audubon Society is in favor of wind farm energy. But our stance is, wind farms need to be properly sited and need to be sure there's not an extreme amount of take," he said, referring to birds being misplaced, killed or their habitats negatively affected.
