We are not against
wind energy. Rather, this website includes important questions
about the best ways to develop our Adams County Wind resources,
and it reflects our obvious concern that the Adams County Wind Ordinance
fails to protect the interests of all of our residents. The public
deserves a far better deal than this ordinance provides. Thank you for considering this information; we promise to respect those who have differing opinions, and we hope for the best future for our beautiful and beloved Adams County. |

Windmills in Adams County What We are Doing, & What You Can Do |
|
What You Can Do: 1. Learn more about this issue, and keep up on what is happening in Adams County. 2. Click here now if you'd like to be contacted to talk about how you can help with this effort. 3. Forward this website to your friends. Ask them to stand up with you for safety and fairness and openness and in our County. 4. Call or write the Adams County Board Members to express your views: County Board members, addresses, & phone numbers 5. Become aware of other citizen groups who have dealt with wind farms surrounding their homes, too. Check out www.wind-action.org or www.betterplan.squarespace.com for two excellent ones...there are many others springing up as wind farms spread across the country. 6. Tell your town or village board members you support an "open space" resolution of 1.5 miles around the border of the town where wind turbines will not be built. While we are not attorneys, we have been told that his area is under the control of the town rather than the Adams County Board. This will give each community some local control over that crucial boundary space, allow for future potential expansion or alternate land use, protect a little more of the open view for all the residents in that community, and help shield town residents from the various potentially negative effects described in this site. As more and more of our county gets covered with wind development, then this "open space" will be prized and grow in value. 7. You can email us if you have questions, thoughts, ideas, or resources that you would like to see included on this website. ________________________________________________________
