CRAWFORD COUNTY—After voters in Crawford County passed a referendum stopping the placement of wind turbines in the county Apex Wind’s Brian O’Shea, Director of Public Engagement, issued the following statement to Crawford County Now:
“We are disappointed in the results of Yesterday’s vote, which memorializes a dangerous and precedent-setting expansion of government authority over local property rights.
This result restricts and ceases the individual land rights of more than 500 Crawford County farmers and landowners, who have now lost the ability to decide what they want to do with their own property. Given today’s result, we are evaluating our next steps in Crawford County. “
