Maple Ridge withholds payment
Flat Rock Windpower, pays less than promised and files lawsuit against Lewis County, the towns of Martinsburg, Harrisburg, Lowville and Watson and the Lowville, Copenhagen and South Lewis school districts. If the NYS Supreme Court rules in favor of the wind company, it could mean that local municipalities would have to pay back much of Flat Rock's $8.6 million payment from a year ago.
