# Zoning Board of Appeals 10/8/26 - Session 2 Recording

The Peoria County Zoning Board of Appeals continued its October 8, 2026 hearing on the Four Creeks Wind project, a proposed 663 MW wind facility with 113 turbines. Testimony and public questions focused on projected energy output and curtailment for shadow flicker, noise and complaint procedures, turbine spacing, animal and property impacts, construction activity, and proposed use of local union labor. The applicant said it would follow county requirements, apply for FAA-approved ADLS lighting systems and provide updated and post-construction sound studies. It did not provide a specific net output estimate after curtailment or specific operating hours for the proposed batch plant. Public speakers expressed both support and opposition, including questions about projected property-tax revenues, jobs, and community impacts.

The hearing testimony and public-comment portion concluded, but the board did not vote on the application during this session; procedural and evidentiary matters remained, with closing arguments scheduled for October 14. No procurement action, contract award, bid approval, or purchasing decision was identified. The proposed project is an energy development under land-use review, not a procurement decision.
