Still wind in Hamlin

Remember all of the controversy in Hamlin over some proposed wind towers? Well, the company that wanted them doesn't seem interested anymore.

Iberdrola, the Spanish company that bought RG&E and NYSEG, had its eye on Hamlin for a wind farm. But the idea divided residents and generated tension between town officials and project opponents. Town officials eventually passed regulations allowing wind development, but a court struck them down in January 2009. After that, little was heard from the energy company.

Peter Terry took over as Hamlin supervisor this past January and says he hasn't had a single conversation with Iberdrola since taking office. The meteorological test towers that dotted the town are also gone. "They were taken down last fall," Terry says.
