facilities than the towns <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Compt<strong>on</strong>, West Brooklyn, Scarboro, and Sublette. Also, to the North<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the facilities are the towns <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Lee, to the East <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Highway 38, and Steward, just to the West.<br />
Although many home sales occurred in these towns, a significant number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> additi<strong>on</strong>al sales<br />
occurred <strong>on</strong> small residential tracts in more-rural areas or in small developments. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
topography <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the area is largely flat, but falls away slightly to the East towards Paw Paw. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
area enjoyed significant development during the real estate boom led by commuters from the<br />
Chicago metropolitan area, which was focused in the Paw Paw area but was also seen in semirural<br />
subdivisi<strong>on</strong>s to the Southwest and North <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the wind facility.<br />
Data Collecti<strong>on</strong> and Summary<br />
County Supervisor Wendy Ryers<strong>on</strong> was enormously helpful in answering questi<strong>on</strong>s and<br />
providing data, as were Carmen Bollman and GIS Director, Brant Scheidecker, who also work in<br />
the county <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fice. Wendy and Carmen facilitated the sales and home characteristic data request<br />
and Brant provided the GIS data. Additi<strong>on</strong>ally, real estate brokers Neva Grevengoed <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> LNG<br />
Realtor, Alisa Stewart <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> AC Corner St<strong>on</strong>e, and Beth Einsely <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Einsely Real Estate were helpful<br />
in understanding the local market.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> county provided informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> 412 valid single-family transacti<strong>on</strong>s that occurred between<br />
1998 and 2007 within 10 miles <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the nearest wind turbine, all <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> which were included in the<br />
sample. 108 <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>se sales ranged in price from $14,500 to $554,148, with a mean <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> $128,301. Of<br />
those sales, 213 occurred after c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> commenced <strong>on</strong> the wind facility and, <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> those, 36<br />
had views <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the turbines – nine <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> which were rated more dramatically than MINOR. Only two<br />
sales occurred within <strong>on</strong>e mile <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the nearest wind turbine.<br />

108 This county was not able to provide data electr<strong>on</strong>ically back to 1996, as would have been preferred, but because<br />
wind project development did not occur until 2001, there was ample time in the study period to establish preannouncement<br />
sale price levels.<br />
