Foes Organizing Against Central Indiana Wind Farm Plans

SELMA, Ind. (AP) _ Many people living in a central Indiana county are organizing against construction of a proposed wind farm.
 
  A Chicago-based company is seeking permission from Delaware County officials to build about 30 electricity-generating turbines in agricultural areas northeast of Muncie.
 
  About 75 people attended a county plan commission meeting this month to voice objections to the plan, and project foe Kathy Gresh tells The Star Press that about 125 people met last week to organize their opposition.
 
  Gresh says many residents don’t know about the proposal. She says the area has too many homes to be a good place for the wind turbines.
 
  The county plan director proposed rules that the turbines be at least some 1,300 feet from homes, but Gresh wants that increased to more than 10,000 feet.
