A statement from Select Board Chair Brooke Mohr on the Vineyard Wind debris incident. As a reminder, representatives from Vineyard Wind and General Electric will be at tonight's Select Board meeting.
Brooke Mohr, the chair of the Nantucket Select Board, said at first, people were scared about the possible impacts the debris could have on the environment.
In reality, Mohr said by email on Thursday, "the lights have been on 24/7 since the first turbine was installed." That first turbine was completed in October 2023.
“They had no idea it was going to be a constant wave of debris,” said Nantucket select board member Brooke Mohr.
Mohr said the deed restriction program will begin as soon as staff time allows, probably in the first or second quarter of this year. This story is a production of the New England News Collaborative.
