"The town developed its own wind law, UPC did numerous environmental and interconnection studies. This is really the culmination of a long process," Swartley said.
That long process has been scrutinized by a group of concerned residents.
"We are not against a wind farm in Cohocton, contrary to popular opinion. What we are for is the proper sitting of the windmills," said Judith Hall, of Cohocton Wind Watch.
She says she wants to make sure the windmills go up a safe distance from the residences and a cemetery that dot Cohocton's hills.
"It's a very ill-thought-out project," Hall said.
Town and state officials haven't agreed and signed off on the project in recent weeks. But with lawsuits, some permits and construction pending, the dust...and dirt...haven't settled. Town leaders say they will.
