The controversy was to come to a head today, when the Cherry County Board votes on whether to permit the wind project, which supporters say comes with a bushel of benefits: nearly $400,000 a year in additional property taxes, yearly lease payments to ranchers of $7,000 to $10,000 per wind tower, and three or four new, well-paying jobs.
Monday’s vote came at a time when there’s growing opposition to wind development across Nebraska, as more rural residents said they don’t want tall turbines spoiling their views, generating noise and threatening birds.
