Turbine Recommendations on Hold
It will be a little longer before selectmen hear options developed by a turbine group working towards a compromise. New data has sent the group back to the drawing board.

The group plans to meet at Falmouth Public Library Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the new data.
