Speak up.
Be counted.
The rules for industrial wind in Hampshire County are being finalized now. These are the dates where your voice counts most.
Talking points worth raising.
Four things to know
before you go.
Show up early
The April 28 hearing is a special format — check with the courthouse for sign-up procedure if you want to speak.
Keep it short
Most public meetings give each speaker 5–6 minutes. Pick one or two specific points and stick to them. The record matters more than the speech.
Be specific
Reference the exact section of the ordinance. Name the setback, the waiver provision, the border language. Precise comments carry more weight than general ones.
Speak from your life
Your story as a resident, property owner, or neighbor is your strongest material. Where you live, what you see, what you'd lose.
Can't make it in person?
Written comments submitted before a hearing become part of the official record and carry real weight. Reach out to your officials now.
