UPC Wind Management will be opening a location July 29 at 18 Market St in Attica, said Development Manager Helen Maxon Thomas.

The town of Cherry Valley will have a public hearing at 6 p.m. July 31 on whether to enact a 12-month moratorium on development.

The initiative comes after Reunion Power of Manchester, Vt., submitted an application to erect 24 wind turbines on East Hill. Project manager David Little has estimated the wind farm will cost about $100 million to build.

The public hearing will be held in the town garage because a large crowd is expected, Cherry Valley Supervisor Tom Garretson said Wednesday. Those who wish to speak will be allowed two minutes each.

MONDAY, 31st -- 7:30pm -- Special meeting of the Town Board of Perry, NY. Perry Fire Hall, Perry Park, Lake Street, Perry, NY -- To accept or deny Horizon Wind Company's DEIS for the Dairy Wind Farm construction in the Town of Perry.

An Open House called Wind Turbine Education Evening will be offered at 7 pm in St John's Church on Market Street Cape Vincent. The public is invited. The objective is to get everyone on the same page in understanding wind turbines and related issues. Ideally, experts from all fields will take this opportunity to learn from one another.

Supervisor Pat Eaton said the hearing is required by state law for the wind mill issue as the town has called for a moratorium, or suspension of activity, until the planning board can research the matter. The hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 10 in the town hall and the public is encouraged to attend to give their thoughts and opinions on the matter.
