National Wind Coordinating Committee Publication: "Wind Power Facility Siting Case Studies: Community Response"
The case studies document lessons from nine sites that the NWCC’s Siting Workgroup examined in order to determine communities’ reactions to local wind development projects, with the intent of identifying circumstances that distinguish welcomed projects from projects that were not accepted by communities. The NWCC Siting Workgroup was also interested in examining the changes in community perceptions before, during and after project construction, as well as in recognizing what wind project developers can do to address the concerns that often recur at wind project sites.
