In fact, two found positive impacts, which makes sense. Wind farms bring increased jobs, increased tax revenues and an interesting visual feature to a region, all of which lead to greater attractiveness compared to neighbouring regions.<br /><br />http://www.quora.com/Wind-Power/Do-wind-turbines-reduce-the-value-of-nearby-properties/answer/Mike-Barnard<br /><br />What actually impacts property values temporarily is hysteria whipped up by anti-wind lobbyists prior to wind farms being constructed. As the studies show, there can be a temporary dip before the wind farms go live, and that temporary dip is rapidly made up for over the subsequent two years.<br /><br />If your sale price goes down in advance of a wind farm, don't blame the wind farm, blame the anti-wind lobbyists.Mike Barnardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108295071539289986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-77945176189539427352012-06-02T11:09:16.403-04:002012-06-02T11:09:16.403-04:00Leeky sweek, nice cat.
