Nantucket Selectmen To Huddle On Next Steps In Turbine Crisis

Vineyard Wind is continuing to collect debris from an offshore wind blade that failed more than a week ago.

The debris has washed ashore along Nantucket's southern beaches and near Monomoy Island southwest of Chatham. In a Sunday update, Vineyard Wind said the Nantucket Harbormaster reported that more debris from the turbine blade was located offshore near Madequecham Valley Road.

Beach crews have been dispatched to assist in maintaining safe conditions for beachgoers and swimmers.

Vineyard Wind says only its employees, contractors and those appointed by town officials should handle and recover debris materials.

Meantime, Nantucket Selectmen are expected to hold a closed door meeting Tuesday night to determine what their next steps are going to be and how to recoup some of the thousands of dollars spent during the incident.
