That comes first.’’ He went on to say that if one developer finds they can not work within the confines of the town’s proposed wind ordinance then perhaps another developer can.</p> Otsego County Zoning Mon, 25 Sep 2006 14:40:05 -0400 http://www.livinginnewyork.org/cherry_valley_plans_hearing_on_development_otsego <div class="event-nodeapi"><div class="flexinode-1-start"><label>Start: </label>Jul 31 2006 - 6:00pm</div></div> <div class="event-nodeapi"><div class="flexinode-1-end"><label>End: </label>Jul 31 2006 - 9:00pm</div></div> <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"><div class="flexinode-textarea-1"><div class="form-item"> <label>Description:</label><br /> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>The public hearing will be held in the town garage because a large crowd is expected, Cherry Valley Supervisor Tom Garretson said Wednesday.
