* Rumor has it that the ridges from the Syracuse area to Homer are now being discussed, but not made public yet. 

The community and town officials were presented with decisions which will have historic consequences for us all. The impact and risks of such a project on the whole community takes us out of the realm of personal land use, and demands regulations to protect the residents, the town and its vision. This is a critical point in the Meredith’s history. 

Our elected officials along with our town board attorney, Rosemary Nichols, Delaware County Planning Board & Delaware County Planning Department have chosen to adopt the weakest wind ordinance in New York State.  This ordinance will allow wind companies to site wind turbines at will, almost anywhere, only needing the approval of an appointed board of seven members.  Of course these seven members will be appointed by the same officials that adopted this devastating law.  As the saying goes, as of right now the Fox is watching the Hen House.

This could be the future of the Town of Meredith!
