Dickinson County Concerned Citizens is a group of residents who have identified the imminent negative impact to individuals living near wind turbines.  There are three proposed wind turbine projects being developed currently in Dickinson County.  These turbines will be 591 feet and 599 feet (per FAA records). 

Our citizens’ health, safety and wellbeing must be preserved, protected, and not negatively impacted by these projects. The current Dickinson County Ordinance Article #21 Conditional Uses Wind Energy Conversion Systems implemented in 2009 has been updated in 2024 with limited protections for health and safety of the community and the protection of rural landowners’ property rights. The current setback distance is 1600 feet from the dwelling. Research verifies that under the current ordinance, there will be significant and direct impacts on the health of residents. We want our county to revise this ordinance and to increase our citizens’ awareness of these projects.
