September 28    

    *   Wonder About Wind - Subtitle: How  to Help Local Governments Deal 
With Wind Power -  Wind development is  sharply increasing in upstate New York, 
particularly in the Finger Lakes  Region. Wind power can be a promising 
renewable energy source, but it can also  create complicated issues of public policy 
and opinion. Municipalities across  New York are navigating through an often 
complicated process, planning for and  siting wind power, a technology that 
most municipalities do not address in  their zoning or comprehensive plans. Join 
Mark Denecke, Finger Lakes Energy  $mart Coordinator at the Genesee/Finger 
Lakes Regional Planning  Council, to learn what local municipalities can do to 
prepare for and to  deal with wind energy development. Cost of the event is 
FREE. Sponsored  By: Finger Lakes Institute:Co-Sponsored By: Finger Lakes Energy 
$mart  Communities.  To be held at Finger Lake Institute, 601 S. Main  Street, 
Geneva, N.Y. at 6:30 pm.  For more information contact Sarah  Meyer, Outreach 
Coordinator at 315-781-4382 or email fli at hws.edu
