Planning board member James McConkey said the board would review minimum requirements for the proposed farm as well as environmental regulations. In August, the planning board voted against an 18-month moratorium that would have put the project on hold. In January, John Rancich proposed a 10-turbine farm on the west side of Enfield, where he said it "is too valuable to be ignored."

ENFIELD - The Town of Enfield Planning Board will examine a local law that would define details surrounding a proposed wind turbine farm on Connecticut Hill today.

The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the lower level of the community building.

Planning board member James McConkey said the board would review minimum requirements for the proposed farm as well as environmental regulations.

In August, the planning board voted against an 18-month moratorium that would have put the project on hold.

In January, John Rancich proposed a 10-turbine farm on the west side of Enfield, where he said it "is too valuable to be ignored."

McConkey said everyone needs to be patient while the prospect of a wind farm is evaluated.

Earlier in the summer, members of the planning board traveled to Fenner Wind Farm to learn about the effects.
