Lawyers for Cape May County and the company building wind turbines off the coast have settled a portion of a lawsuit pertaining to permits for environmental and utility investigations. According to the Press of Atlantic City the county agreed to grant open-road permits to Ocean Wind LLC, following the signing of a consent order signed by Superior Court Judge Michael Blee on Tuesday. Ocean Wind sued county officials last month, asking a judge to order that they recognize easements granted by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and grant open-road permits to study work related to the project.
