Bill Summary
Relative to restoring local control in coastal communities of the Commonwealth. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill allows any coastal city or town in the Commonwealth to designate a specific area of coastal waters next to it as a "wind development exclusion zone," meaning that wind energy projects cannot be built there. This designation can be made by the city's mayor with city council approval, or by a town's manager and town council, or by a town's board of selectmen and town meeting, depending on the town's form of government. This provision aims to give local communities more control over where wind energy infrastructure is developed along their coastlines.
