Recently, two wind power companies, Canandaigua Power Partners and Canandaigua Power Partners 2, tried to get three lawsuits that Cohocton Wind Watch had filed, thrown out of court.
However, Steuben County Court Judge Marianne Furfure has ruled that Cohocton Wind Watch will be able to go forward with their lawsuits. The three lawsuits were filed against the wind power companies that are putting up wind turbines in the Cohocton area.
Cohocton Wind Watch attorney David Miller tells our news department that if the Cohocton Wind Watch lawsuits are successful, about 50 or 60 will not be constructed in the Cohocton area. It is also possible that the wind turbines that are being constructed now, will be taken down.
Cohocton Wind Watch is alleging that many of the special use permits for some of the wind turbines were incorrectly approved by officials. Cohocton Wind Watch argues that some of the special use permits should not have been approved, due to various legal reasons.
