Wind developer leaving Henderson

STONY POINT PROJECT: Company says town has been unwilling to hear plans, meet with representatives

HENDERSON — Stony Point Wind Farm is dead.

In a Oct. 22 letter from Nixon Peabody LLP, Rochester, which represents developer United Wind Energy, Mahwah, N.J., the law firm told the town they were pulling out of the development.

"Based on the town's serial re-enactments of a moratorium prohibiting wind energy projects, stony wind has decided to direct its resources to other prospective projects elsewhere in the state," the letter states.

The developer gained approval to erect three meteorological towers in September, but they were never completed. The letter said the towers would not be built and the development would no longer be actively pursued.
