Listen to the Wind Blow

Or listen to the blows from the wind project? Kevin Killough at JTN, Virginia residents say vibrations from construction of offshore wind project causing cracks in walls "This construction, the residents say, is going on day and night. Other residents are concerned about visual impacts of the 900-foot towers.

Residents living near in an upcoming, major offshore wind project say say the developer’s activities are creating a lot of noise, and they weren’t told to expect it.

WTKR reported Sunday that the residents in a Virginia Beach neighborhood met with Dominion Energy about the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, and the meeting didn’t ease their concerns.

John Knight, a resident of the neighborhood, told WTKR that the developer never warned that his “house is going to be shaking for almost a year.” Had he known, he said he would have opposed the project.

This construction, the residents say, is going on day and night, with some of the vibrations from the development being so loud, it’s causing cracks in their walls.

Other residents are also concerned about the visual impacts of 900-foot towers that will be erected off the coast of Virginia Beach.

A spokesperson for Dominion told WTKR it’s monitoring the noise levels and working to address them. 

It takes a lot of pounding to drive in a piling deep enough to hold up a 900 ft tower.
