ROXBURY — Town leaders in the western Maine town of Roxbury say a legal appeal has tied up financing for a 22-turbine wind farm.
Selectmen say work was supposed to begin this month on Record Hill Wind’s $120 million project, but construction will have to await the outcome of a legal battle.
Record Hill is a project of Independence Wind, a Brunswick-based company whose principals are Robert Gardiner, former president of Maine Public Broadcasting and former governor Angus King. Gardiner tells the Sun Journal newspaper that the wind project opponents’ appeal has tied up financing pending a favorable decision.
Gardiner says the Maine supreme court will hear arguments later this fall. The project was approved by Maine environmental regulators in August 2009.
