Dec. 20--CAPE VINCENT -- Residents asked questions about land, sales and money to start a community wind power project at a public meeting Saturday morning.

The session, which about 40 people attended, was organized by the Black River-St. Lawrence Resource Conservation and Development Council. The council won a $99,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study the possibility of a community wind farm on behalf of St. Lawrence River Public Power Association.

Association organizer Hester M. Chase told the group she wants a renewable energy project in the town that will unite various factions, create revenue and lower electricity prices.
