From Root River Energy's Fall 2009 Newsletter...
We announced in the spring of 2009 our project expansion into the eastern parts of Mower County. The Root River Energy team feels Mower County is a valuable addition to the project footprint given its favorable topography, wind signature and agricultural land use. Jim Connolly and Barry Rogne have been working with landowners over course of the last several months to sign acres for the new footprint. Currently, they have over 7,600 acres under easement and they are in discussion with an additional 50 landowners about participating.
“We are off to a good start and we are receiving a positive community response in the new footprint,” says Connolly. “The project expansion has really accelerated the development. We are busy on the ground working with landowners and we are confident that the new Mower County area will help Root River Energy create a well-rounded, productive wind farm for the community.”
If you are a Mower County resident and interested in learning more, feel free to contact Barry or Jim at your leisure.
