CLEARVIEW TWP – The township has declared it’s unwilling to host two wind farm projects.Continue reading at the Midland Free Press
Clearview Township council voted 8-1 to support a motion that states the township is not supportive of WPD Canada Corp’s Fairview Wind Project and Skyway 124 Wind Farm, which are currently in the application process in front of the provincial government.
The motion put forth by Councillor Thom Paterson was to object to any current and future industrial wind turbine projects, but Councillor Shawn Davidson proposed an amendment to have the motion pertain only to the two projects.
“This amendment fundamentally changes the purpose of my motion,” said Paterson who voted against the amendment. “That’s saying we don't like the specific proponents of the proposal and really the intent of the motion is we don’t want industrial wind turbines anywhere in Clearview.”
The gallery, which was almost entirely full, applauded Paterson for his comment.
