Walton Town Board Members view/discuss wind turbines
Members of the Town Board traveled to the Town of Madison in Madison County in July to view the effect of turbines on the town and to talk with residents about their experiences and feelings. The Board Members spoke with several people throughout the day; one woman who lives close to a turbine visited with the Town Board for a while and answered many questions. Since the Town Board is considering new language in the Town of Walton Zoning Laws regarding wind turbines, the Board members desired first-hand knowledge of the structures before making any long-term decisions for our community.
