# Zoning Board of Appeals 10/1/26 - Session 3 Recording


**Body:** Peoria County Government
**Date:** September 30, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

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


The Peoria County Zoning Board of Appeals continued its Four Creeks Wind Project hearing on October 1, 2026. The board reviewed the schedule for further testimony and public comment, including making October 9 available as a contingency date; the venue was confirmed for the remaining sessions, apart from the next day’s courthouse hearing. The project applicant concluded its evidence, and economic-impact reports were identified as proposed exhibits. No procurement, contract award, purchasing decision, or spending motion was identified, and no vote is reported in the transcript.

Applicant testimony discussed projected tax revenues for local schools, fire protection districts, and the library, including estimates of about $5 million for Princeville School District in year one, approximately $900,000 for Brimfield School District in year 18, and more than $364,000 for the Lily Evans Library in year one. Public commenters raised concerns about turbine noise, lighting, wildlife, views, effects on rural living, and potential interference with farming operations. These were public comments in the zoning proceeding, not procurement decisions.
