Morton Township trustee David Rose says developers will present proposed wind turbines near Roaming Shores on June 9

David Rose, a Morton Township trustee, told the meeting that wind- and solar-energy developers have approached the township and will hold a public presentation at 6 p.m. on June 9 at the township firehouse to answer residents’ questions about proposed turbines near Roaming Shores and Rock Creek Village.

Rose said the projects are “on the radar” for Morton Township and urged board members and residents to attend the public meeting. “They are there to answer questions… These things are big. They go like 300 ft in the air, I think they are,” Rose said, conveying his understanding of the planned turbine height; the comment was given during the visitor-comment period.

The presentation, Rose said, will be open to the public and intended to provide information about potential locations and allow attendees to ask questions. He did not give a developer name, formal proposal language, or a permit application number during his remarks; no formal township action on turbines was taken during the meeting.

The announcement came in the meeting’s visitor comments; the board adjourned after the public comment period. Officials did not provide additional details about project sponsors, formal filings with township land-use authorities, or timelines for any permit review during the meeting.

Next steps: the June 9 public presentation is the first event referenced in the meeting record where developers will present details and accept questions; residents looking for project documents or formal filings should attend that meeting or contact township officials afterward.
