Scipio town board discusses wind farm plan

SCIPIO -- What's in the wind for Scipio? The town board discussed a number of issues affecting future plans for the town.

Keith Batman, town supervisor, put a positive spin on his update of the wind farm/broadband plans. The board also weighed in on property issues related to its comprehensive plan, increases in highway expenditures due to rising fuel costs and their effects on budgets and taxes, and a review of its policies regarding the Southern Ambulence Service.

The Shell WindEnergy group met with a group of Scipio landowners on Monday at the Auburn Masonic Temple to discuss issues on which they disagreed, according to Batman.
