Quinn announced a new wind energy project that will put 14-hundred-50 people to work and provide energy to about one and a half million homes across the Midwest.  It's an agreement between Rock Island Clean Line LLC and Flora, Illinois-based Southwire Company that will support wind turbine and transmission manufacturing.  The clean line will start near Sioux City Iowa, run through Cordova, Illinois and on over to Collins Converter in Morris.
