A wind energy advisory committee for Labette County briefly discussed economic impact, safety issues and required setback distances from turbines to property lines on Monday.
Only two members â Kevin King and Mel Hass â attended the online meeting, with Rod Landrum and Sandy Krider, the countyâs public works supervisor, unable to participate on Monday. King and Hass decided to try to set up a 7 p.m. Thursday meeting, hoping that all four members would be available along with a representative from German utility company RWE. The company has expressed interest and has signed lease agreements for a wind farm in Labette County. The county commissioners formed a five-member committee in 2019 to study wind energy and its impact on the county. One member left the committee after moving out of county.
