Wind farm’s future hinging on county
A tie vote by the Stephenson County Zoning Board of Appeals on Tuesday has propelled the proposed EcoGrove Wind LLC wind farm project - slated for northwest of Lena - to the Stephenson County Board next week without a recommendation from the zoning board.
The zoning board failed to make a recommendation after a 2-2 vote during the fifth and final public hearing on the EcoGrove special-use zoning application, said Terry Groves, director of planning and zoning for the county. The application was from Freeport-based EcoEnergy LLC, a division of The Morse Group, which is pursuing the project.
