Mahanoy Township may get another 16 wind power turbines
On Wednesday, the developer of a Mahanoy Township wind farm testified before the Schuylkill County Zoning Hearing board about his next project.
Joseph B. Green, a Shenandoah resident and senior project developer for Locust Ridge Wind Farm, is seeking a special exception to erect 16 additional wind turbines to create Locust Ridge Wind Farm II, located north of Mahanoy City off State Route 339. Green went before the board for a special exception for the first 13 windmills in January 2005.
“The zoning ordinance does not specifically allow for the development of a wind energy project in the conservation residential district,” Green said during a five-minute recess. “It’s the only way to get approval.”
