Firm confident, despite lawsuit Construction in Lee, Whiteside counties could start late this year BY DAVID GIULIANI
DIXON – A Minnesota company could start construction on the proposed Green River wind farm in Whiteside and Lee counties late this year or
in 2015, a company executive said Thursday. A similar timeline exists for the Walnut Ridge farm in northern Bureau County, which Geronimo bought last year, said Tim Polz, the company’s vice president.
“The goal is to have the project contracted out in the first part of 2014,” he said. Last month, the company bought the Green River project from Ireland-based Mainstream Renewable Power, announcing the transaction
Wednesday. The price was not disclosed. The purchase works well with Geronimo’s plan, because the wind farm is near Walnut Ridge, company officials said.
‘‘
We were founded by a farmer. We are conscious of the farming community. We take a very farmer-centric approach.
