Another New Wind Farm Proposal

A Houston-based company filed an application for a seperate farm in Chenoa, Lawndale and Yates townships. This comes a few weeks after Invenergy out of Chicago filed for a special-use permit for a wind farm in Chenoa, Gridley, Lawndale, Lexington and Money Creek townships. According to its application, EDP Renewables North America's "Bright Stalk Wind Farm" would generate about 200 megawatts from 58 turbines on almost 5,000 acres of land. It's anticipated to generate nearly $2.5 million in tax revenue in its first full year of operation and about $42.7 million in its first 20 years. It could be ready to go as soon as next year. The county's Zoning Board of Appeals will begin discussing the application at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 6.
