SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The opposition to a wind farm in Lincoln County has until Tuesday to file an appeal blocking the planning commission’s approval of five weather-measuring towers.
We-Care’s Winnie Peterson says according to county statutes temporary structures must not reduce the aesthetics or value of property.
Peterson says the group has documented evidence from around the world that the construction of meteorological towers can set the real estate market in the area on its end. Dakota power earlier erected a single met tower
Lincoln County planners, in a split decision, approved five meteorological towers that Dakota Power will use to measure wind.
