As reported on North East Windmills, the effort to build an industrial wind turbine project in North East Township has come to an end as Pioneer Green Energy has notified local land owners it will not be renewing leases for the construction of wind turbines on their property. Local residents opposed to the project are extremely pleased with the outcome.
The proposed wind project created divisions in North East that may take some time to subside, but this creates an opportunity for everyone to look ahead and to come up with ideas to move our community forward with projects that benefit everyone.
UPDATE: Pioneer Green Energy has stated they are not waiting for the leases to expire, they terminated the leases effective immediately. The North East wind project is over.
