— The developer of a proposed Mineral County wind farm says it’s ready to discuss how an annual donation for civic projects will be administrated if the project is built.
US WindForce has said it will donate $20,000 a year for the life of the project to a community benefit fund.
Company officials are expected to discuss who will determine how the money is distributed and for what projects during a meeting Monday night.
US Windforce is proposing to build a 23-turbine wind farm on Green Mountain.
Company officials say they plan to submit an application to the state Public Service Commission next month.
Monday’s meeting is one of several US WindForce has been holding to create local support for the wind farm.
