Horizon presents its' case for wind farm location

Officials with Horizon Wind say they have done their best to meet concerns of residents about the location of the proposed wind farm on the Nor'Wester Mountains. In a presentation to city councillors, project coordinator Nhung Nguyen outlined some of the myths and rumours that have been associated with the project. She also repeated the major concession, to move back the turbines over 1 kilometre from the original location. She added that in the future they "may or may not" see more than the original 18 turbines but that has yet to be determined. President Anthony Zwig also stressed the jobs and economic benefits that the wind farm would bring to the community.
