WFIE | 14 News · last updated

HENDERSON, Ky. (WFIE) — After a series of public meetings, Henderson officials have decided to move forward on setting regulations for wind energy.

A proposed ordinance was presented at last night’s city-county planning commission meeting.

The 61-page draft addresses zoning, public health and safety.

If passed, construction of wind facilities would be limited to heavy industrial zones.

The ordinance would also establish application and permitting processes.

This comes after a community out-cry against a proposed wind farm in the eastern part of the country.

We reported last week that project is no longer happening.
