The Town is exploring selling the Wind 2.
Falmouth would like to know if the Turbine commenced operation again, would this meet the terms and conditions to receive loan forgiveness under Project Regulatory Agreement?
The committee was unable to determine if this would be possible without more information about the sale and eventual operation of Wind 2.
The Trust will respond with a letter asking for more information.
