Grundy board vote paves way for wind farm
The Grundy County Board voted to support the extension of the Ottawa, LaSalle County and Grundy County Enterprise Zone to allow the construction of a wind farm in the zone.
Grand Ridge Energy LLC, an affiliate of Invenergy Wind North America LLC of Chicago, has proposed a wind energy development in unincorporated LaSalle County near Marseilles, Seneca and Ransom. Grand Ridge would like to build the wind farm in the enterprise zone, which would require the addition of 224 acres. ...The board approved the extension at Tuesday's board meeting with board member John Almer casting the only no vote. Two other board members were absent.
"I don't like the windmills. Personally, I think they are a wasteful use of land," Almer said after the meeting. "We're so concerned with land use and I just don't see windmills as a good use of land."
