From Root River Energy's Fall 2009 Newsletter....
Root River Energy is pleased to announce the opening of a local office in Ostrander, MN. The office is located in the new Ostrander Farmer’s Co-op at 208 Main Street, #4, P.O. Box 156.
The new local headquarters will allow Root River Energy to better address the growing demand for involvement in the project, along with improving services to the current participating residents.
“It’s a perfect, convenient location for the local area and our target audience,” says Jim Connolly. “Visiting the Co-op is a regular activity for many in the area to purchase the agricultural supplies they need. Now in a sense it will be a one-stop shop for farmers who want to learn more about harvesting their other crop, wind energy.
The office will further function as a local, informational resource for anybody in the community that is interested in knowing more about the project and what locally-owned wind is all about. Communicating with the community is key to developing a wind project that works for the local area.
Information about Root River Energy will be available at the office and the local Co-op staff will assist in directing calls appropriately. “As our wind project progresses, we want to continue to provide the best possible support and services to our participating members,” adds Connolly. “Our new office allows us to do just that.
Now that Root River Energy has a local identity, landowners have an even more accessible way to inquire about the project.” Although Barry and Jim are often out meeting with landowners in the project’s footprint throughout the day, the Co-op’s support in answering calls will help streamline the inquiry process, making it more efficient.
You can reach the office by calling 866-742-6448.
