Several residents from the affected area continued to ask that their voices be heard including Jim Neighbors who says a process like this, which takes some time get started will affect the area for years to come.

There was also some question about whether or not the land proposed for the wind turbines is zoned properly which County Attorney Peter Hart says it is.
