A date and time was set for a public hearing on a proposed wind energy ordinance during the Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.

Supervisor Jack Seward, Jr. proposed that the meeting be held on Wednesday, February 17th at 7 p.m. in order for landowners and other community members to be able to attend to learn more about the ordinance and give feedback. A location has not been determined, but Seward said he hopes to arrange a theatre-like setting to allow enough space for people to gather. Offering Zoom access was also suggested, depending on the capabilities of the chosen venue. In other business, Board Chair Richard Young presented outgoing Supervisor Abe Miller a plaque of honor as he is resigning from the board effective today. Miller was first elected to serve District 3 in 2004, and served as chair in 2018.
