Dan- I was aware that Dixfield is still struggling with this. I'm beyond thankful that Buckfield's citizens saw the sense in protection.

<p>I do regret telling you the Town of Dixfield had a year moratorium placed to allow time for a committee to form an ordinance and had in fact one written and it was within a week from public vote. Last minute interpretation concerns by the wind developer caused the town to withdraw it from vote.

<p>I do regret telling you the Town of Dixfield had a year moratorium placed to allow time for a committee to form an ordinance and had in fact one written and it was within a week from public vote. Last minute interpretation concerns by the wind developer caused the town to withdraw it from vote. It was a pro-wind ordinance specially tailored to allow the proposed wind experiment upon Colonel Holman Mountain. The wind developer was looking for a couple resolutions for clarification and certainly, then, would have endorsed it. </p>

<p>Is there "boilerplate" wording from which to develop a windpower moratorium? I was contacted by chair of a local town's Planning Board. They want some "boilerplate" language to develop a wind moratorium ordinance. Another town's moratorium language would be helpful.</p>
<p>Has anyone got such words? <em><strong>Soonest best.</strong></em><br/> Ron<br clear="all"/></p>

Therefore, one might reasonably infer that when the potential for wind development is studied, towns learn of the dangers and protect themselves.

All towns that have enacted ordinances after imposing a moratorium have made their ordinances more restrictive. There are moratoria in effect where no ordinance has yet been enacted/rejected.
