Fairhaven Board of Health hears resident concerns

With a statewide siting bill out of the picture, battles over improper siting will be pursued town by town. Fairhaven is the most recent community to have town committees actively reviewing proposals. In the South Coast Today, Beth Purdue reports on the Board of Health  meeting which drew close to 100 people on December 19, 2011. In the siting bill, boards of health would have had no authority. Emerging health studies, like the Ambrose and Rand report discussed at the Fairhaven BOH meeting, convey the serious exposure residents will face if the two 400-ft turbines are built.
