“ENGIE showing their presence through donations to our school and community allows people to see, hey, this is not just a windmill, this is an investment into our school.”

“If something were to happen and the wind energy went away, if we lost that much of our local money – there would be a major change. We would probably have to cut several programs. Staffing. We would either lose some things or we’d have to go to the voters and ask them to raise their personal property taxes.”
