# Zoning Board of Appeals 10/8/26 - Session 1 Recording


**Body:** Peoria County Government
**Date:** October 07, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

**Tags:** Energy & Utilities, Physical Infrastructure


The Peoria County Zoning Board of Appeals continued its October 8, 2026 hearing on the proposed Four Creeks wind energy project, with testimony from a nearby farmer and follow-up questioning of project representative Rob Roers. The farmer described concerns about the project’s effects on his family farm, rural character, bald eagles and other wildlife, and cellular service used to monitor a family member’s medical device. He also referenced resolutions opposing the project passed by Jubilee and Brimfield townships. No procurement activity, contract award, or spending decision was identified.

Board members questioned the applicant about communications-interference complaints, decommissioning, good-neighbor agreements, shadow flicker, and wildlife protections. Roers said Four Creeks would comply with county communication and complaint-resolution requirements, submit a more detailed complaint process with its building-permit application, and curtail turbines as needed to keep shadow flicker at or below the 30-hour limit for non-participating residences. He also said the company would follow specified measures if required by the county, including erosion controls and wildlife-related reporting, and confirmed that applicable noise requirements are mandatory. The transcript ends during questioning; no vote or final decision is shown.
