Battlefield complicates Va. wind dispute
Associated Press
CAMP ALLEGHENY, W.Va. —
A Civil War battlefield is now part of a dispute over wind power in Virginia's Highland County.
Highland New Wind Development plans to have 19 turbines built next year, generating enough electricity to power 15,000 homes.
But some residents, who have opposed the project, say the turbines will adversely effect the historic Camp Allegheny site, just over the border in West Virginia. It was the scene of an 1861 Civil War battle in which nearly 300 soldiers died.
The Virginia Department of Historic Resources has filed a complaint with the State Corporation Commission over Camp Allegheny.
A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
Highland New Wind spokesman Frank Maisano says the turbines will have little effect on the battlefield.
