Council will likely hear from wind farm reps

September 4, 2011

Culver’s town council will likely invite representatives of Florida energy company Nextera to a council meeting in the very near future, to discuss the company’s proposed project of placing 60-plus wind turbines in the Marshall and Fulton County areas.
Discussion of the project arose when audience member Patty Stallings expressed concerns over the recently-controversial project, which have included property values in the area, views of Lake Maxinkuckee affected by the turbines, and concerns over the health of those near the project.
