SD supreme court restores wind permits

By Victoria Wicks | SDPB Radio | February 15, 2021 | sdpb.org

Permits for two Deuel County wind projects have been restored by the South Dakota Supreme Court.

The Deuel County Board of Adjustment unanimously voted to allow construction of two wind farms. Opponents appealed, and a Third Circuit Court invalidated the votes of two board members, finding they had a conflict of interest.

The high court has now overturned that ruling.
