Wind Turbine Impact Study -- the Calumet County Citizens for Repsonsible Energy commissioned a study of the impacts of wind turbines on residential property value in Dodge and Fond du Lac Counties. The report, produced by Appraisal Group One, can be downloaded by clicking here (please note, this is a very large file so it may take several minutes to complete the download).
