Wind Project Secures Conditional Permit

InsideINdianaBusiness.com Report

A proposed $300 million Tipton County wind farm has been granted a key conditional permit. Colorado-based juwi Wind North America LLC received an approval from the Tipton County Board of Zoning Appeals that includes additional requirements.

The developer pledged that the more than 90 turbines will not lower the value of nearby properties. Before moving forward, it must provide a guarantee that needs board approval.

Another condition states the structures must be built 1,500 away from property lines.
