While it may not have been on the agenda, the Christian County board spent nearly half of the meeting Tuesday evening fielding comments, concerns, and questions concerning the wind farm ordinances that have been talked about for over 6 months now. A group of concerned citizens that call themselves Protect Christian County or PCC, crowded into the board room, forcing Chairwoman Becky Edwards to move the meeting upstairs. Multiple people spoke at the meeting talking about health issues, concerns about the land value and concerns about transparency. Adrian Adcock, who is with PCC stated that the group wants to work with the board.

Adcock continued by saying that the group feels there is too much closeness between the board and the wind companies.

Chairwoman Becky Edwards said she did not have her mind made up on which way she wanted to vote. She also felt that people didn’t understand the process and just what went into the process of county government—especially when lawyers get involved.

The arguments got quite heated and nothing was decided as far as wind farms and the ordinances regulating them are concerned. The next time wind farms will be discussed will be in the December committee meeting. You can find the full meeting by visiting our link here and here.
