MIAMI COUNTY, Ind. – A group of area residents Monday spoke out during a regular meeting of the Miami County Board of Commissioners against a proposed wind farm project that could bring around 75 turbines to the northern part of Miami County. The project is being proposed by RES, an international renewable energy company with its U.S. headquarters based in Colorado. The parameters for the wind farm would roughly run from 900 North to the Fulton County line, which encompasses about 36,000 acres. Brad Lila, director of development for RES, said in a phone interview Monday the company is also considering building turbines in Cass and Fulton counties as part of the project. He said more than 50-square miles of land in Miami County have so far been secured through lease agreements with land owners to build turbines, which would stand around 600-feet high. But some Miami County residents are pushing back against the proposal, saying the project would mar the landscape and impede landowners near the turbines from building on their property. Lila said the company is moving forward with the wind-farm project, but it still has “a considerable amount of work to do.” He said the company likely wouldn’t have a finalized project plan until next spring. Once the details of the wind farm are nailed down, the Miami County Board of Planning and Zoning will review and vote on whether the project meets all the zoning and building requirements set by the county.
