Laramie County Commissioners on Tuesday voted 3-1 against a proposed 56,000 acre wind farm proposal in northwestern Laramie County. Local realtor and landowner Wendy Volk, who spearheaded a drive to hold off on approving the project for now, gave Townsquare Media of Cheyenne the following statement:" I want to thank the Laramie County Commissioners for rejecting the permit for the Laramie Range Wind Project. Their vote sets a precedent that Laramie County will not allow industrial-scale development to move forward without fully addressing impacts to our land, water, wildlife, and quality of life. This is the Wyoming way—citizens engaged, commissioners attentive, and a commitment to protecting our county for generations to come.”Company Touted Big Economic ImpactThe project had been proposed by Repsol Renewables. The commission vote followed a Laramie County Planning Commission decision last week to put off approving a permit until state regulators could weigh in.
