Williamson, N.Y. - The New York Power Authority is reviewing five proposals for its Great Lakes Offshore Wind Project (GLOW), according to a spokesperson.
In April 2009, NYPA introduced the plan to the public. GLOW would place dozens of wind turbines in Lake Erie and/or Lake Ontario to help produce a renewable source of energy. Many lakeside residents have raised concerns over the look of turbines and their impact on the environment, among other issues.
NYPA said it has and will continue to gather public input, but plans to proceed. Towns such as Webster, Greece and Irondequoit have passed resolutions against GLOW, but it is unclear what impact they will have.
Wayne County has also passed a resolution to thwart this project, but Williamson's town supervisor says he's concerned whether it will hold up the project.
NYPA says it will continue to review public input and is expecting to hold further public meetings on the topic.
