Prattsburgh, N.Y.
The Prattsburgh Town Board appears to be in no hurry to act on a road use agreement with wind farm developer Ecogen, despite a written request by the firm to pass it this month.
Board members decided last week to instead rely on the advice of town Highway Superintendent Chris Jensen, who told the board he wanted the agreement to be reviewed by Hunt Engineering before any formal action is taken.
The road use agreement with the town is required in order for Ecogen to transport machinery and equipment to build 16 turbines planned for the town.
Jensen said he has a number of issues with the new plan, including proposed routes. Typically, highway superintendents have the right to approve road-related matters without the approval of their municipal boards.
