Precinct 1 Brown County Commissioner Gary Worley has released a statement concerning wind turbines in Brown County. In the statement, he says, “It is my understanding that the process of leasing property for wind turbines has begun in the southwestern part of Brown County. The Brown County Commissioners has no voice in this process as it is a property rights issue. It is up to each individual property owner whether they lease their property or not. The only time that the Brown County Commissioners Court get involved in this process is when the wind farm project comes before the court asking for a county tax abatement. Before making a vote on giving a tax abatement, I will seek the opinion of the voters of Precinct 1.”
