Notice of Acceptance of Draft GEIS and Public Hearing

Yates County - The Town Board of the Town of Italy, as lead agency, has accepted a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed Town of Italy Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Wind Energy Incentive Zone Amendment to the Zoning Law. A public hearing on the Draft GEIS will be held on September 9, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. at the Town Hall of the Town of Italy, 6060 Italy Valley Road, Naples, New York. Written comments on the Draft GEIS will be accepted by the contact person listed below until 5:00 p.m. on September 19, 2008. Copies of the Draft GEIS are available and may be obtained at the following locations:

Town of Italy Town Hall

The action involves the proposed revisions to the comprehensive plan relating to utility scale wind turbines in the Town of Italy and adoption of a local law that would create an incentive zoning procedure for the placement of utilities scale wind turbines in specifically designated zones within the Town of Italy. While the local law would designate the zones, it would not authorize any specific turbines. The project is located in two specific areas in the southern periphery of the Town of Italy, New York.
