Wind farm plans presented to NY town

A renewable energy company is planning to build 75 windmills that are about 475 feet tall, and the majority will likely be constructed in the town of Hammond.

Iberdrola Renewable Inc. made the decision at a Town Hall meeting recently. The towers are about 66 feet taller than a similar wind farm in Lewis County.

The company says it is still looking at wind levels in Morristown, but it appears Hammond will be home the majority of the turbines.

A special meeting has been scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Hammond Free Library to review applications for the Wind Advisory Committee. The committee will help establish guidelines for the town's wind facilities law.
