Construction on Rollins Mtn. Wind Farm Underway

October 18, 2010 - LINCOLN -- Maine's newest wind farm, a 40-turbine project in Lincoln and neighboring towns, is under construction.

The Bangor Daily News says officials at First Wind, which is building the Rollins Mountain wind farm, hope to have it finished by April 1, but the target date is weather dependent.

The newspaper says about 90 percent of the land needed for the project has been cleared and the foundation for one of the towers has been poured.

The $130 million project is being built on ridgelines in Lincoln, Winn, Burlington and Lee. Altogether, the turbines will produce 60 megawatts of power.
