Greenbush -
Over a hundred people packed the gym at the Helen Dunn School in Greenbush Thursday night.
A Texas based company wants to put 14 wind turbines on Passadumkeag Mountain.
But the majority of those in attendance don't like that plan.
They say the turbines would impact the scenic quality of the area.
Elizabeth John with the group Passadumkeag Mountain Friends said,
"These are going to be 459 foot industrial towers, sighted in an area thats not developed and we think that's inappropriate there.
The Maine Department of Environmental Protection hosted Thursday meeting.
The DEP Commissioner Patricia Aho said she called the meeting because, "I want their input on our draft analysis on this particular application and it's to help me before we render any decision on this particular project."
The DEP Commissioner does not expect to issue a ruling on the matter until the end of August.
