“…Past studies have certainly looked at the ways different types of extra-local capital and resources are embedded into the interactions between extra-local actors and local residents (McHugh and Mings, 1996;Müller, 2002;Stedman, 2006), at the different roles played by second home owners and local residents in rural restructuring (Laposa and Mueller, 2010;Overvåg, 2010), and specifically at collaboration between second home developers, owners and local actors in the promotion of rural development (Jeong et al, 2015;Lauber et al, 2008).…”

“…For instance, Dröes and Koster [2016] find a significant anticipation effect up to three years in before of the actual construction of the turbine. Laposa and Mueller [2010] on the other hand, report no significant changes in the prices of the houses surrounding an are in Northern Colorado where a new windfarm is planned.…”

“…More recently, a number of high quality research efforts have been conducted, which use conventional methods, large datasets, and either are or expect to be published in peer-reviewed journals. Laposa and Mueller (2010) investigated Area Stigma prior to construction using an announcement of a proposed Texas wind farm (that was never built) and was unable to uncover evidence of such an effect. Hinman (2010), on the other hand, in her extremely rigorous master's thesis, investigated 3,851 sales near a two-phase wind project in Illinois finding a significant preoperation Area Stigma, but no evidence for a post-construction Area Stigma.…”

For the last decade, the United States has increasing relied on wind energy to combat both depleting oil and coal reserves and to mitigate the effects of climate change through a reduction in CO2 production. Consequently, wind power development has expanded dramatically in recent years (GWEC, 2010) and that expansion is expected to continue (GWEC, 2008;Wiser and Hand, 2010).The U.S. Department of Energy, for example, published a report that analysed the feasibility of meeting 20% of U.S. electricity demand with wind energy by 2030, which equates to approximately 300,000 MW (US DOE, 2008). Currently the U.S. generating capacity from installed wind farms is approximately 40 GW up from approximately 4 GW in 2000 (Wiser andBolinger, 2011). To achieve a 20% wind electricity target in the United States of 300 GW, about 3,000 new wind facilities would need to be sited, permitted, and constructed.Not only is the number of wind farms sited in the U.S. increasing and will continue to increase, but the size and number of turbines in each development is increasing too. In 1998-1999 turbines averaged 180 feet (55 meters) in height at the hub, with blades of almost 165 feet (50 meters), in 2010 land based turbines averaged approximately 295 feet (90 meters) with 278 foot (85 meter) blades.Similarly, in 1998-1999 the average project consisted of 28 turbines; in 2010 this average had risen to 40 turbines after peaking at 60 turbines in 2007 (Wiser and Bolinger, 2011). Industry expectations for siting in areas with lower overall wind speeds (where larger rotor diameters will allow for increased power output, all else being equal) is expected to further increase the scaling.Though surveys show that public acceptance in the U.S. is high in general for wind energy (e.g., Firestone and Kempton, 2006), a variety of local concerns exist that can impact the length and outcome of the siting and permitting process. One such concern is related to the views of and proximity to wind facilities, which, in turn, might impact surrounding property values. To that end, surveys of local communities considering wind facilities have frequently found that adverse impacts on aesthetics and property values are in the top tier of concerns relative to other matters such as impacts on wildlife habitat and mortality, radar and communications systems, ground transportation,
