We are: Concerned Property Owners of Marshall County, IN

A Florida-based wind farm company, NextEra, has its sights on a 17+ thousand acre area for the construction of 60+ wind turbines. The turbines are proposed to be app. 450 feet tall, about the height of a 38 - 45 story building. This wind farm would be located between Culver and Argos in Marshall County (West to East) and from Burr Oak/ Hibbard, Marshall County, to Richland Center in Fulton County (North to South). The wind turbines will be visible from Culver's scenic town park as well as all shores of Lake Maxinkuckee, the Town of Argos, and miles of the surrounding farmland.

As of January, 2012, the most recent map of the proposed footprint/"study area" for this wind complex shows the Town of Argos surrounded on the west, south, and east sides by wind turbines, and the southeast corner of the county would also be affected, as well as the northern part of Fulton County.

A number of other wind farm companies are also eyeing Marshall County for wind developments in various parts of the area.

This project has been adopted by the Lake Maxinkuckee Environmental Fund (LMEF).
