Developers are pulling plans to put a wind farm in an area of western Ohio known for its cross-tipped churches.
A Florida-based development company tells The Lima News that it will look to build elsewhere in the area after residents of Mercer County complained that the dozens of wind turbines would block views of the region's celebrated Roman Catholic church spires.
The rural area near the Indiana state line and north of Dayton is home to dozens of Roman Catholic churches built in the late 1800s and early 1900s and now on the National Register of Historic Places.

I'm wondering: 100 years from now will our grandkids be reading stories of church development projects being halted to preserve the view of historic windmills?
