Hopkins County Commissioners Hold Work Session On Major Wind Farm

At Wednesday’s work session, Hopkins County Commissioners heard a presentation about a proposed Wind Energy project for the county. Representatives of Apex Clean Energy say they hope to obtain about 12,000 acres and will construct between 50 and 100 wind turbines. The company is seeking a tax abatement from the county. Wednesday’s meeting was only a work session, and the commissioners did not take any action.
