(KMZA)--The Marshall County Commission has approved the site plan for the Irish Creek wind farm in the southeastern portion of the county.
The Commission gave their approval Monday on a 2-0 vote. Commissioner Tom Holle was absent.
Commissioners didn't act on requests from a group of landowners for turbines to be set back farther from their residences before the plan was approved.
The Frankfort area residents had voiced their concerns at the Commission's December 28 meeting.
The site plan from Florida-based NextEra Energy was made public last month. It includes 108 turbine sites and 15 alternative sites.
