ACHP names panel to evaluate Nantucket Sound wind project
A federal panel charged with assessing Cape Wind’s impact on dozens of historic sites includes an architect, an anthropologist and a Texan who runs one of the nation’s largest beer distributors.
Last week, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation identified a five-member Cape Wind review panel, as a final federal ruling on the controversial offshore wind farm appears on the horizon.
John L. Nau II, CEO of Houston-based Silver Eagle Distributors, is the chairman of the group. The other members are Maryland-based anthropologist Julie King; John Berrey, chairman of the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma; Stephen Ayers, whose architect of the capitol post makes him responsible for maintaining the U.S. Supreme Court and Library of Congress buildings; and Linda Lawton, director of the federal Department of Transportation’s Office of Safety, Energy and Environment.
