Developer moves to terminate Woodbury County wind project easements, county update says
Summary
A supervisor reported that Mid America is terminating easements for a proposed Woodbury County wind turbine project and is beginning to record easement terminations, effectively shutting down the project, the board was told.
During board concerns, a supervisor reported that Mid America contacted county officials to terminate all easements for a planned wind-turbine project in Woodbury County and that the project is "shutting down." The company has begun work with the county courts office to terminate the recorded easements, the supervisor said, and thanked citizens for their involvement in the issue over the years.
Board members and the presiding supervisor framed the development as a closure to a long-running local debate; one supervisor said the process brought many residents together to discuss the county's future and quality of life. The update was informational and no formal action was recorded at the meeting.
