Hennepin County wants to build a massive wind turbine on land it owns in Medina. The Medina City Council is set to vote on it tomorrow, Wednesday, November 5, 2008.
It seems virtually no one knew about this until late last week when an active citizen mailed out letters to alert Medina residents. Laure Blake of the Star Tribune picked up the story today. Click here to read the article.
The owner of the Mobil gas station at County Road 116 and Highway 55 has this large 4′x8′ sign that can be seen by thousands each day as they drive by on Highway 55.
I have received a few e-mails from people trying to organize a resistence to this project. It’s unclear how the city council will vote but they are expected to take it up tomorrow night – after the elections on Tuesday, of course.
