Wind farm not coming to Chatsworth
Wind farm construction will continue in Livingston County, but not in the Chatsworth area.
Chicago-based Invenergy Wind LLC has announced it has abandoned plans to develop Pleasant Ridge Wind Farm, a 266-turbine wind farm near Chatsworth, but it will continue to investigate opportunities farther west.
“We may look at coming back later, but for now we won’t be developing in this area,” said Joel Link, Invenergy’s director of business development
The announcement came prior to the Chatsworth Town Council’s decision Tuesday to prohibit wind farm development within 1.5 miles of the town limits.
Some who saw constructing 400-foot turbines as an environmental threat and an eyesore welcomed Invenergy’s decision. Others who saw the wind farm as a sure source of income didn’t.
