Wind farm can meet Cape Vincent's needs ~ Letter

Watertown Daily Times | Wind farm can meet Cape Vincent's needs

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2009

During his speech the Sunday before last, Gov. David A. Paterson told a candid story about the outlook for our region. These are tough times, which may not improve anytime soon.

Major themes of the governor's State of the State address were the advancement of renewable energy and the creation of jobs. The Cape Vincent Wind Farm can accomplish both these goals. As we all know, Cape Vincent could use an economic boost.

The proposed Cape Vincent Wind Farm will provide the town with significant yearly revenue from the payment in lieu of taxes. It will also create many jobs during construction as well as several good, full-time jobs. This is exactly what our community needs now and in the future.
