Subject: Comments on Wyoming County IDA Application for Financial Assistance” for the High Sheldon “Wind Farm”

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to learn much from this “Application for Financial Assistance.”

The Application simply does not contain enough information for the Wyoming County IDA or anyone else to make reasoned judgments. Perhaps there is more information publicly available. I have not had time to try to obtain data from the WC IDA or the local government, or to review other documents such as the EIS. However, even with those it’s likely that critically important information is missing. Later in this memo I will offer some generic comments that likely apply to the High Sheldon Wind Farm but are based on documents associated with other projects.

This memo provides comments on:
· The High Sheldon Application to the Wyoming County IDA, and
· The apparent lack of facts and objective analysis of economic impacts of “wind farms” by local and state government officials in New York.
