Rocky Forge Wind would be the first on-shore wind project in the Commonwealth. The county and state re-approved it last year after construction delays and project modifications. But the lawsuit, scheduled to be heard in April, said regulators cut corners and the project isn’t as it seems. Apex Energy, the company behind Rocky Forge, has said they intend to begin construction late this year.
