200-megawatt Randolph County wind farm takes another step forward

WINCHESTER -- Construction of Horizon Wind Energy's proposed 200-megawatt wind farm spread over tens of thousands of acres could start as early as 2011 now that the project has cleared another hurdle.

Randolph County Commissioners, the cities of Winchester and Union City and several towns recently adopted wind farm zoning regulations that are favorable to the project, expected to cost several hundred million dollars.
