Seligman wind farm

A 22-year Seligman resident and former fire chief said the proposed 76-turbine project has stalled home sales and depressed his neighborhood, and promised a packed hearing.

A Sierra Verde Ranch resident living within a half mile of the project said it would destroy property values, dark skies, and his family's legacy, and demanded more transparency.

A Sierra Verde Ranch property owner argued turbines disrupt overnight condensation that sustains the fragile high-desert ecosystem, drying soil and raising wildfire risk.
