CREDA Report
August 4, 2010
The Municipality of the County of Cumberland and CREDA are hosting a series of Wind Energy Development Plan Open Houses throughout the county during the month of August. In association with the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities and the Nova Scotia Department of Energy, Cumberland has been identified as one of two municipal units to conduct a study regarding the creation of a Wind Energy Development Plan.
All open houses will take place from 3 pm to 7 pm on the following dates:
- August 5 – Wallace Museum
- August 11 – Port Greville at the Age of Sail Museum
- August 12 – Joggins Fossil Centre
- August 18 – Rodney Community Hall
- August 19 – Municipal building, 1395 Blair Lake Road, Upper Nappan
These open house sessions will provide the public with information about the importance of wind energy to meet the Province’s energy needs as identified in the recently released Nova Scotia Energy Strategy. Public input will guide the Municipality in the creation of a Wind Energy Development Plan which will assist the appropriate placement of wind energy projects both large and small.
Staff will be available during the open houses and questionnaires will be distributed to assist with collecting your input. Questionnaires will also be available on-line at www.cumberlandcounty.ns.ca.
