We obtained for our client wind farm developer, after seven years of litigation, a decision from the Supreme Judicial Court, favorable in all respects, denying on the merits an appeal by citizen groups under the Wetland Protection Act and allowing our client’s wind turbine project (known as Hoosac Wind) to be built on Crum Hill in Munroe, MA and Bakke Mountain in Florida, MA (in the Berkshires).
Ten Local Citizen Group v. New England Wind, LLC. This ruling, concluding numerous public reviews, agency permits, adjudicatory hearings, and court litigation, cleared the way for the largest land based wind farm in Massachusetts, with 19 turbine, now producing 28.5 MW for Iberdrola Renewables.
