Backers of lawsuit against Neosho County wind farm waiting on legal process

Forty-five landowners, some of whom live in the project footprint, filed suit against Neosho Ridge Wind LLC in July in Neosho County District Court. The civil suit states the project “will constitute a nuisance with respect to the plaintiffs and their property interests. It will be an annoyance and a use of property which gives offense to or endangers the life or health or obstructs the reasonable and comfortable use and enjoyment of the property of the plaintiffs.”

The project opponents say they aren’t necessarily against wind energy, but they do oppose the project in what they think is an area too heavily populated for the windmills that will tower over 600 feet tall.
