This week on the Down East Journal, we detail the state’s first ever wind farm currently under construction near Elizabeth City. The project has drawn criticism from some who are proposing legislation aimed at limiting future construction elsewhere in the region. We speak to local environmentalists and state representatives on the future of wind farms in eastern North Carolina. And, 29 eastern North Carolina Arts Councils are seeking applications for regional artists grants of up to $1,000 in financial support for art projects.
