DEVELOPER PROPOSES 34 WIND TURBINES IN ROXBURY, STAMFORD:

A wind-farm developer presented a plan Monday to erect 34 wind turbines on the Moresville Range in Roxbury and Stamford.

Eric Miller, Invenergy Wind LLC project manager, said the proposed towers will be 262 feet high with 148-foot blades for a total tip height of 410 feet.

Miller gave a presentation about the project at the Roxbury Town Board meeting Monday and said a similar presentation will be done by David Groberg, an Invenergy project manager, at the Hobart Fire Hall at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Roxbury Supervisor Tom Hynes said about 45 people attended the meeting, many of them from other towns and counties. Hynes said he didn’t open the meeting for discussion.

The wind farm is expected to generate up to 102 megawatts, producing 268 million kilowatt hours per year, according to the media release.

In addition, the project could pay about $800,000 to local government entities every year. If approved, construction of the wind farm could begin in 2008.
