Falmouth Select Chairman Doug Jones Wind Turbine infra- Sound

Reading from a prepared statement, Selectman David Braga said industrial-sized turbines don’t belong in residential neighborhoods.
“We have an issue that has gone on for too long and it has divided our town. I want to be very positive and move forward to rectify this issue,” Braga said. “I think it’s time that we start building trust with the residents of Falmouth over this issue.”

Selectman Doug Jones said he was inclined to agree with Braga but urged caution on how they proceed.
