Public to comment on Hanover wind turbines

If wind turbines are ever proposed for Hanover Township, the board of commissioners wants to be ready.

The board is holding a hearing on Feb. 17 to seek public comment on adding to its zoning ordinance of a provision to allow turbines in certain areas as a conditional use. After the public comments at the special meeting, the board could vote on the issue.
