Latest WQOW News 18 story on wind turbines:
A citizen group files a lawsuit against the Town of Forest. That’s north of Glenwood City.
An energy company is looking to build more than three dozen wind turbines on various properties in the area. The board approved the measure last year, but residents say they were kept in the dark about the plans.
The group is concerned about diminished land values and noise pollution from the turbines, which could be up to 500 feet tall. The group is asking for a permanent injunction to stop the building of the turbines.
