Freedom: Installation of wind farm nears
Barring any legal challenges, installation of the Beaver Ridge wind turbines could begin this summer.
First Selectman Ron Price, owner of the land where the $12 million wind farm will be located, said the devices have been ordered and delivery is expected to take place in July. The three 400-foot-tall windmills planned for the site are similar to those in place at Mars Hill, he said. They are projected to produce 4.5 megawatts of power annually.
"They have been approved, they are moving ahead," Price said Wednesday. ...Bennett said that without an ordinance the town has no protection from noise and there were no setback requirements. He said the turbines would be located 350 feet from abutting property lines.
"We don't even have a fall zone, much less the safety setback recommended by turbine manufacturers," he stated.
