The Portsmouth Town Council voted 4-2 Tuesday night to begin fixing the broken turbine at Portsmouth High School.

The estimated cost of the repairs is about $850,000 and, according to numbers presented by Town Council President James Seveney, the cost of taking it down would be more than $2 million.
The vote followed a lengthy discussion about the pros and cons of repairing or dismantling the turbine, including numerous comments from residents both for and against the repairs.
