In Piatt County, Illinois, residents have opposed the construction of wind turbines for the Prosperity Wind Project by Apex Clean Energy, citing concerns over their visual impact, light reflections, noise, and unfulfilled economic promises. Although the county initially rejected the project, a 2023 state law limiting local zoning authority forced the county board to approve it, prompting frustration over lost local control, minimal job creation, and perceived lack of transparency from developers.

The Resource Centre invited the company to comment on this allegations. Apex Clean Energy did not respond.
