CAPE VINCENT — Acciona Energy is making the economic case for its St. Lawrence Wind Farm.
The developer said the 76.5-megawatt project will result in about $20 million in lease payments to landowners and $20 million in payment-in-lieu-of-taxes revenue for local taxing jurisdictions. The developer also boasts the project will result in 150 temporary construction jobs and six to 10 permanent jobs.
"The economic benefits are clear," project manager Timothy Q. Conboy said. "The benefits that have been in other parts of New York will accrue to Cape Vincent, Lyme and Jefferson County if our project goes forward."
