Falmouth Residents’ Survey Towards SouthCoast Wind
2023 Research postcard understanding attitudes towards SouthCoast Wind
In September 2023, the University of Connecticut conducted an anonymous postcard survey using random sampling of Falmouth residents and property owners regarding the siting of SouthCoast Wind’s proposed high-voltage cable landfall, new cable corridor, and 6-acre electric HVDC substation.
Residents were urged to complete an 8-minute survey. The survey aimed to gather community perceptions and understand support or opposition to the project.
By the end of 2023, the results of the University of Connecticut's postcard survey on Falmouth residents' attitudes toward the SouthCoast Wind project had not been published.

Previously, on June 8, 2022, Falmouth residents expressed strong opposition (about 87 percent) to SouthCoast Wind's plan to run electric cables from its offshore wind farm through Falmouth during a public hearing held by the select board at a local school auditorium. Around 200 people attended the meeting.
