The Rutland Herald reported a new development for the wind farm project on July 29:
"The Select Board voted unanimously Monday to sign a 30-year lease with Vermont Community Wind Farm to put turbines on municipal forest land West Rutland owns in Ira. The company is seeking to build an 80-megawatt wind farm in and around Ira.
In return, the company will pay the town a total of $3,000 for the three-year "development phase." ...
The project has proven more contentious in other towns, particularly in Ira, where meetings on the proposal have drawn large, hostile crowds. Select Board Chairman Sean Barrows said after the meeting that he suspects the project has plenty of supporters but that their voices are not being heard."
