Croatan residents complain of loud noises from Dominion wind turbine project

Dominion Energy continues to work on its $9 billion wind turbine project that it says will bring more reliable, sustainable energy for more than 600,000 households.

In all, 176 wind turbines are being built off the coast of Virginia Beach to provide more reliable energy.

But residents of the adjacent Croatan neighborhood are unhappy with the noise and vibrations it’s causing, voicing their concerns at a Virginia Beach City Council meeting Tuesday.

Knight has lived in Croatan for 6 years.
