DeWitt County Wind Farm Developer Touts Economic Impact of Site Workers

As the DeWitt County Alta Farms II wind project sees the last of the wind towers go up, the developing company is touting the impacts of the workforce needed to get the project up.

 

Enel Green Power's Brayten McGee says most of the workforce on the site is local workers within a roughly 50-mile radius of DeWitt County and they are taking themselves into the community and spending money on food, gas, and other goods that are boosting the local economy.

 

 

Due to delays in the project, the wind farm will not be going live until the fall. In the meantime, McGee says you'll see a small number of workers in the rural parts of DeWitt County getting roads and agricultural land restored after the last of the towers is erected.
