Prattsburgh Continues Wind Farm Ban

The board extended their moratorium on wind development for another six months, in order to allow more time to set up a wind utilities law. The law is being considered by the town zoning commission.

Wordingham said there has been no decision in the current legal battle between the town and developer Ecogen. Ecogen is looking to revoke decisions made by the current town board regarding its 16-turbine project.

The board voted 4-1 in favor of extending the moratorium, with Wordingham, and council members Steve Kula, Anneke Radin-Snaith, and Chuck Shick favoring the longer ban.

Councilwoman Stacey Bottoni voted against the extension, saying the town does not have the judge’s decision yet.
