The Orleans Town Council has adopted a new wind law after
more than a year of determining new regulations and fine tuning.
The town’s attorney, James A. Burrows, said the board adopted the law at its Dec. 28 meeting
and he sent the law to the state Department of State for its files less than a
week later. The new law, which combines the 2011 version with dozens of
amendments, takes effect when the department officially files it.
Creating and revising the town’s wind law has been an
ongoing project for more than a decade, Mr. Burrows said. The board adopted the
first version of its wind law in 2007.
