Perth adopts moratorium on wind energy facilities; supervisor says town lacks wind resources
Summary
The Town of Perth adopted Local Law #2-2025, a moratorium on wind energy facilities. Supervisor Greg Fagan said the town is "not concerned with wind turbines" and that "we don't have enough wind around here to make the turbines move."
The Town of Perth Board adopted Local Law #2-2025, placing a temporary moratorium on wind energy facilities.
Supervisor Greg Fagan, speaking during the public hearing opened at 6:10 p.m., said he was "not concerned with wind turbines, but we need to be prepared. We don't have enough wind around here to make the turbines move." He added the only area that might have sufficient wind would be the northern part of the Town of Caroga.
The board approved the local law in Resolution #38 by roll call, with Councilman Priamo, Councilman Barker, Councilman Lewandowski and Supervisor Fagan voting "Yes." The measure passed unanimously among attending members.
The moratorium temporarily halts approval of new wind-energy projects while the town reviews zoning and siting considerations. The town did not specify a later review or expiration date in the discussion beyond formal adoption.
