The Protect Wentworth Valley Committee (PWV) will host another public meeting next weekend to press their concerns about the proposed mega wind project for Higgins Mountain.

The gallery was full yesterday as the Municipality of Cumberland held its final public hearing on a proposed new set of bylaws regarding wind energy proposals.

There was an ominous tone in a letter tabled yesterday at Cumberland County Council.

Dear Mr. Pynn,

If you do not want to proceed with the wind energy proposal in the Wentworth Valley, just say so. But if you really do want the project to go forward, stop shooting yourself in the foot.

Cumberland County Council wants to pause all wind energy developments, big or small, while it reviews the current bylaw for development agreements.

Cumberland County Council wants to “hit the pause button” on the wind energy proposal for Higgins Mountain in the Wentworth Valley.
