August 26, 2024 — Barnstable County officials are calling on the federal government to involve the community more directly in offshore wind plans for the Outer Cape.
The Assembly of Delegates voted Wednesday to send a letter to the Biden administration making that request.
In an interview before the vote, Assembly Speaker Pat Princi of Barnstable said Cape Codders need to be heard.
“There’s just a lot that really hasn’t been talked about that is of major concern to residents who live here, work here, who support their families here,” he said.
Before the meeting, Wellfleet Delegate Lilli-Ann Green drafted a letter to Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland asking to turn back the clock five years on Outer Cape offshore wind.
