Dominion wind project faces ridgeline opposition in Tazewell
Dominion seeks full ownership of a 2600 acre East River Mountain tract for a wind farm and says BP exits. Eastern District supervisor David Anderson renews opposition citing ridgeline law. Northwestern District supervisor Seth White supports the project. The deed was recorded in Tazewell County, and Dominion asks supervisors to revisit the ridgeline ordinance.
