MODL exploring Wind Power options

The Municipality of Lunenburg is exploring the possibility of future wind turbines in the area. Council held a discussion with Keith Towse of Community Wind Farms Inc., outlining issues including where the power generators could be placed, the benefits and the cost. The group is currently looking at land on Mulloch Road in Whynot's Settlement, opposite the Recycling Plant. Towse says they are hoping to have a public meeting in February. He says the group is interested in setting up wind farms at two other sites; one in Lunenburg County and the other in Queens County. Council is expected to discuss the issue at a later date.
