An updated version of a proposed agreement that would permit wind farms in Allen County will be discussed at a meeting of the Allen County Planning Commission Thursday evening, starting at 7 p.m. The meeting, open to the public, will be in the assembly room on the basement floor of the courthouse.
EDP Renewables has proposed to construct a wind farm holding as many as 100 turbines in the northeast part of the county. The company, at last report, had negotiated leases on 12,000 of the 20,000 acres necessary.
The agreement is not specific to EDP, but to any industry interested in establishing a wind farm in Allen County.
Planners will make a recommendation to county commissioners on whether to make the agreement binding, giving commissioners final say.
