Hearing TONIGHT - on Whalerock Land 7:00 pm, Thursday, August 22, Charlestown Elementary School. Two utility scale wind turbines with a blade tip height of approximately 410 feet are proposed for land that has been considered for open space acquisition since 2000. Now at long last, the owner is willing to sell the land for conservation. Please try to attend so we can achieve the following: Prevent the placement of utility scale wind turbines too close to residential neighborhoods and the National Wildlife Refuge. Put an end to all litigation concerning the proposed uses of this land Protect the wildlife habitat on this land and surrounding open space Create hiking connections to other trails in Charlestown Protect nearly a mile of undeveloped frontage on scenic Rt. 1 Protect Charlestown’s beautiful and rare dark sky Conserve a piece of our biological and geological history Protect clean water draining to the Coastal Ponds Provide long term protection to our tax base and low tax rate. Create permanent conservation land next to Narragansett tribal land reducing conflicts between the different goals of developers and the tribe.
