County to vote on other wind farm

BLOOMINGTON – Another wind farm will be considered by members of the McLean County Board during the group’s regular meeting Tuesday (Mar. 20).

A permit for the Bright Stalk Wind Farm will be voted on. The project would be located in the northern portions of the county stretching from Old Route 66 to the west to County Highway 13 to the east. This includes the townships of Chenoa, Yates and Lawndale. Another 100-turbine wind farm was already approved by the county board in February.

Also on the agenda is a request from Breezewood Solar, LLC for a solar project on property located in Bloomington Township southwest of the intersection of Margaret Street and the Business U.S. Highway 51 Frontage Road. Cypress Creek Renewables wants a zoning classification change from commercial and single family residential to agriculture.
