CANTON, S.D. (KELO-AM) -- A group that opposes the Dakota Power Community Wind Project in Lincoln County is holding a pair of meetings this week. The first is tonight in Harrisburg and the other is tomorrow night in Lennox. Both start at 7pm.
Winnie Peterson with “WE Care South Dakota,” says they’re urging a YES vote on the July 18th ballot measure, which would up hold the county wind ordinance calling for a half mile setback. She says they’re not trying to get rid of all wind projects but to make sure they’re done safely.
She says they will have more information on the details of the ballot measure at the meetings.
Peterson says wind power supporters who are pushing for a no vote aren’t being transparent with voters.
Tonight’s meeting in Harrisburg is at Liberty Elementary school and Wednesday night’s meeting in Lennox is at the community library.
