State wind energy siting legislation that's been criticized by some West County town officials will be the subject of a Franklin County Planning Board meeting this week.
The proposed Wind Energy Siting Reform Act, designed to speed development of wind turbine farms -- primarily in western Franklin County and on Cape Cod -- will be discussed by the board at a 7 p.m. meeting Thursday at the Hampton Inn Conference Room on Shelburne Road in Greenfield. The meeting is being held there, rather than the usual Planning Board conference room downtown, because of the expected turnout, said Planning Director Margaret Sloan.
'Our sense is that people are very interested in wind energy siting and how it may impact local permitting,' said Sloan, who said the Hampton Inn space can accommodate 50 people.
