The damaged part of a whole turbine is currently lying in a yard on the outskirts of town and the council is to debate whether to install it at Veness Park. Because of the damage to the blade, it can’t be erected vertically but would have to be horizontal.
A report to be considered at Thursday’s council meeting says: “The development of the wind farms has created significant interest, generally because of the “wow factor” due to the size of the components and structures.”
The report says that $10,000 would be allocated for the installation and that would come out money for “public art.”
