CASNOVIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Wind turbines could be constructed in Muskegon County as soon as next year if a California-based developer’s plan moves forward.
The Casnovia Township planning commission shared details on Sempra Renewables' proposed Kenowa Ridge Wind Energy Project at a public hearing Thursday.
The commission requested more information on the project before voting.
They have the power to request changes before approving or denying the project. If the planning commission greenlights it, the plan would go before the township board for a vote.
Casnovia Township documents show the developer wants to build up to 31 wind turbines.
Lisa Briggs, who handles community and government affairs for Sempra Renewables, said the company requested a special use permit from Casnovia and Tyrone townships.
The company already has a wind farm in Huron County; it began operating last year.
