CAPE VINCENT — A new meteorological tower put up here last week will share real-time wind-speed data online.
St. Lawrence River Public Power Association, which is behind an effort for a community-owned wind-power project, put the tower up in a field on founder Hester M. Chase's farm, on Bedford Corners Road.
"We need the community to actively talk about how large a project it wants, where it wants a project and how it wants the revenue to come back to the community," said Loren W. Pruskowski, vice president of Sustainable Energy Development, which helps community wind projects. "We're attempting to build that cooperation."
