A proposed $40 million wind farm between Mitchell and Mount Vernon could receive approval at Tuesday's regular Davison County Commission meeting.
The county's five commissioners will discuss a proposal to bring 9 to 11 wind turbines to Beulah Township, about 10 miles west of Mitchell, during its Board of Adjustment meeting starting at 9:15 a.m.
If approved, the 400-foot turbines would be built on the land of Brad and Peggy Greenway, but at least one neighbor has asked for more information about Juhl Energy, the company proposing the wind farm, and the potential impact on quality of life before the county moves forward with the approval.
In an interview with The Daily Republic last week, Vice President of Juhl Energy Development Corey Juhl said the company could break ground on the project as early as autumn of 2016 if approved.
