Weekly Question: New Plans for Town Center Wind Turbines

Residents learned in March of Stop & Shop's desire to construct wind turbines along a stretch of Town Center property running congruent to neighboring residences.

At that time, our weekly question asked how you felt about that particular plan and the responses were tentatively positive.

Most of the comments were supportive as long as the project "makes sense" in terms of the amount of power generated, etc. There were questions raised about bird migratory patterns and "flickering" caused by sunlight shining between the arms of the spinning turbines.

On June 5, representatives from Stop & Shop were back for another meeting with the Planning Board and some redesigned wind turbine plans. Stop & Shop now wants to erect six turbines in grocery store parking lot instead of along a grassy border.

Now that you've had a couple of months to consider the project, and with this new placement design, we want to revisit the question.

How do you feel about wind turbines in the parking lot at Stop & Shop?
