McEvoy Project Approved!

It was thumbs up for wind in Marin on Tuesday, when county supervisors unanimously approved a proposal to build a windmill to power an olive ranch owned by a former newspaperwoman.

The decision came after 3 1/2 years of stormy debate, but Nan Tucker McEvoy, the former chair of the board of the San Francisco Chronicle Publishing Co., will now be able to build a 189-foot tall windmill.

The plan is to build the 660-kilowatt wind turbine on the McEvoy Ranch, a 552-acre spread on rural Red Hill Road, a few miles southwest of Petaluma. The electricity the turbine generates will be used to power the ranch's olive oil processing plant.
