When the Ohio legislature passed Senate Bill 52 last summer it gave local authorities the ability to quash proposed wind farms rather than leave their fate to the Ohio Power Siting Board.

But rather than give up on its plans for the wind farm, Apex is taking advantage of another aspect of Senate Bill 52 - going straight to the voters through a referendum to reverse the commissioners’ action. That would enable the Virginia-based company to submit its wind farm proposal to the Siting Board, which must approve all utility-scale power projects.
Apex estimates that the project will require 50 to 80 turbines and that they will be about 600 feet high when measured from the ground to the tip of a blade projecting straight up. The commissioners created the exclusion zone after being petitioned by an anti-wind group, said Doug Weisenauer, who has served as a county commissioner for 14 years.
He also said excluding wind farms deprives property owners of a way to earn income and that it amounts to government seizure.
