The restraining order prevents neighbors from using the parts of their property near the project for agricultural, recreational, or any other purpose. Residents have been riding horses, walking, training dogs, and grazing cattle in the area around the project site for years. "At no time has anyone from GMCW or David Blittersdorf himself come to us and said they wanted to work with us on these issues.

Gets Restraining Order, Seeks Damages For Being Present on Their Own Property
MILTON, VT - On Friday, Georgia Mountain Community Wind LLC. (GMCW), a company whose majority owner is David Blittersdorf, filed a series of legal actions against project neighbors.

The company requested from the Vermont Superior Court and received a temporary restraining order against neighbors. The Court granted the order without holding a hearing. In a second action, Blittersdorf's attorneys filed a lawsuit alleging that the neighbors' presence on portions of their own property that are within the project's claimed 1,000 foot blast safety zone are a nuisance and interfere with the project's existing contracts. Construction on the four-turbine project began in May.
