Hanover Park Village Trustee's are being challenged to consider a Wind Turbine as you've noticed from this week's Village Highlighter. Several concerns have been raised about the setback, the flashing from the blades through the sunlight, and noise. Those issues are not impossible to resolve. We are contacting communities around the country who have put up similar turbines in residential areas to learn from their experiences.
For instance, Cleveland, Ohio, a major urban area, has a wind turbine in midst of its downtown. Here are a couple of links to information on the Cleveland turbine:
This week the school here in Hanover Park will be making a presentation to the DuPage County Forest Preserve District, who owns the land that borders the school property. The school will also be meeting with the Mallard Lake area. The partnership between Village, Forest Preserve District, and Keeneyville District 20 would have outstanding benefits to us all. This inter-governmental partnership is working to be fiscally responsible with tax dollars by saving energy costs and ensuring quality education for our young people by seeking out new revenue streams.
I see a future for Hanover Park as a leadership community.
