The Buchanan County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted last night to adopt the new wind turbine ordinance proposed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. This ordinance strikes a middle ground of protecting the rights of both landowners who want wind turbines on their land, while also protecting the rights of their neighbors.
The new ordinance provides reasonable setbacks and other protections for non-participating landowners while also protecting the rights of people to put wind turbines on their land. Our P&Z worked long and hard on this. And we are very grateful to the BOS for supporting their efforts.
This is a developing story.
