From the Saturday, January 28th edition of the Urbana Daily Citizen:
So...is EverPower allowed to release a map of the locations for the proposed turbines or not? According to EverPower, they "can't release any project maps" due to the OPSB process. According to the OPSB? This is absolutely not true.
As a resident or landowner in Champaign County, you should have the opportunity to know the exact location of each one of the proposed nearly 500-foot machines. There are over one hundred of these massive turbines approved (on appeal) or in the application process. And one or more of these skyscrapers might be just 700-feet or so from your property line. Call your local EverPower employee (Mike Pullins 614-563-8453 or Jason Dagger at 937-604-8820) right away and ask for a copy of the project map. As a member of this great community, it's the job of every one of us to stay informed with the truth.
Wind Clarification
Information accompanying a color map published Friday included assertions from an EverPower official that the company could not release Buckeye Wind phase 2 maps “at this time.” According to EverPower Communications Manager Daniel Lagiovane on Thursday, “It has to do with the OPSB (Ohio Power Siting Board) process. Until we make a formal submission, we can’t release any project maps.” When contacted about his statement by the Daily Citizen on Friday, OPSB media contact Matt Schilling said there is no OPSB regulation prohibiting a company such as EverPower from releasing a map showing where a proposed project would be located before or after an application.
