In Henderson County, officials are considering bringing a wind farm to the area.
“Folks have known about this potential development for a long time,” Henderson County Judge Executive, Brad Schneider.
The plan by Cordelio Power involves installing numerous wind turbines, which would stand tall across the landscape.
For many, the sheer size and number of these structures are a key part of the conversation.
Henderson County Judge Executive, Brad Schneider, shared his perspective on why this project might be a good fit for the county.
“It’s all apart of trying to get more energy to the grid and take advantage of some incentives from the federal government, which may or may not exist in the coming years. So I am sure the plan is to produce energy and do it in a cost efficient way,” said Schneider.
However, not everyone in Henderson County is convinced this is the right path.
Residents like Rebekah Wood are vocal about their worries.
“My first thought was where was the information given to the residents of the county, so that we could have some input on what is happening in our county,” Henderson County resident, Rebekah Wood.
Wood says beyond how the turbines would look, there are worries about potential impacts on wildlife.
She says some residents also fear the turbines could cause health issues like headaches or sleep problems, something she hopes local representatives take care of.
“They are our elected officials and they are to be representing us and not just moving forward on the plans for what they think is the best,” said Wood.
