Union officials relish the job possibilities presented by the proposed Galloo Island Wind Farm.
Upstate NY Power Corp. has said the 84-turbine, 252-megawatt project would create 24 permanent jobs and 200 to 250 construction jobs during the three summers of construction.
The project has been criticized for supporting mostly construction jobs, which may last a season or two.
