March 2009: Root River Energy began project development work in eastern Mower County. The expanded footprint puts Root River Energy's wind development closer to a proposed point of interconnection to the transmission grid and broadens community involvement in the project.
October 8, 2008: National Wind Assessments installed an 80-meter meteorological tower (met tower) in the project footprint. The met tower will measure wind speeds and other data pertinent to Root River Energy's wind resource.
September 18, 2008: Root River Energy held two successful landowner meetings, with over 100 people attending the two meetings.
