The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is holding three public meetings next month as part of an environmental review of Deepwater Wind's proposed 90MW South Fork offshore wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island.
BOEM is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement is response to Deepwater's plans for an up to 15-turbine project, offshore substation and export cable to East Hampton in New York state.
The first meeting on 5 November will be at the American Legion Post 419 in Amagansett.
Two days later the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology East facility in New Bedford will host the second event, with the third at Narragansett Community Center a day later.
All three meetings will be from 5pm to 8pm local time.
A public comment period is also open until 19 November as part of the process, BOEM said.
