“The partnership between Invenergy, landowners and local officials will lead to more clean power production and economic development for the area” – Kevin Parzyck, Invenergy

“The wind farm will produce millions of dollars in yearly tax revenue for Gratiot County and local municipalities which can be used for schools, fire and police protection, road repair and other improvements throughout the area” – Gratiot County Herald

“The new facility will bring immediate economic benefits to Michigan and Gratiot County. Construction, expected to start late this year, is planned to employ more than 150 skilled workers” – DTE media release
