The Cohocton Wind Watch greatly thanks Cohocton residents and surrounding township neighbors for their presence and overwhelming support at the CWW May 17th information meeting. Over 200 citizens came out to express their concern about the Cohocton Wind Power Project. Media and press reporters are encouraged to cover every aspect of this dramatic lesson in civics. The current wind project threatens the well being of not only Cohocton but the entire Finger Lakes region. Property rights and constitutional protections are at stake. The Town of Cohocton and the Cohocton Planning Board are now fully aware of the depth and intensity of community opposition to the UPC wind turbine proposal. All officials have a duty to protect the public safety and property rights of all residents and landowners. Their oath of office is a solemn obligation.
It is the task of all area citizens to hold the Town of Cohocton accountable. Each official bears the responsible and personal liability for any and all damages coming out of a wind project that harms your community.
Call to action – attend the Cohocton Planning Board public hearing on May 25, 2006 and submit your written opposition and supporting documentation to the lead agency. GET a signed receipt from the clerk for each document submitted. Protect your rights and the legal record. Get active and contribute to the Cohocton Wind Watch legal fund.
The Cohocton Wind Watch looks forward to sponsoring additional public meeting. Future gathering will encourage questions, comments, citizen participation and interaction. Now is the time for the entire community to reject the UPC proposal and work together to enact a new comprehensive plan for the future of our town and region. CWW wants to hear from you and urge you to join our community group. Demand from your town officials a moratorium NOW! We all can do better, get involved and help secure the birthrights of your sons and daughters and grandchildren.
