Local residents' concerns - and possible litigation - have prompted town officials to include an industrial wind turbine ban in the zoning law they're formulating.
It had already included regulations on setback and height but now calls for an all-out ban, as well.
The Yates County Planning Board is scheduled to review the proposed zoning law. A public hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 9.

Two companies, Global Winds Harvest and Ecogen, want to build more than 50 wind turbines combined in Italy and neighboring Prattsburg, Steuben County. For the Ecogen project, there would be 20-plus turbines in Italy, most near Emerson Road. Global's project calls for several near Clute Road.
