RIGA — The Riga Twp. Planning Commission, in conjunction with the Riga Township Board, sponsored a presentation at a special meeting Monday night by John Deere, one of the corporations interested in developing wind energy. The program was part of the township’s effort to educate community members about the ramifications of allowing or prohibiting the construction of wind farms in the township.
The presentation was conducted by John Deere business development manager Doug Dulmering and consisted of a Powerpoint presentation explaining the effect that “wind farms” would have on residents.
