HUNTER - The town supervisor hopes a wind turbine tower will be 
installed at the municipality's closed landfill on Hylan Road by the 
beginning of October - the first step in possibly creating a wind farm 
there.

Dennis Lucas said the town is working with the Greene County Industrial 
Development Agency and a Massachusetts manufacturer called Mass Energy 
to locate a residential wind turbine at the old dump. He said the wind 
tower would be placed at no cost to the town and would be a trial 
project to understand and produce a three-way agreement between the 
municipality, the manufacturer and Industrial Development Agency.

If the agreement works out, it could lead to the town using more of the 
old landfill property for a wind farm, Lucas said on Friday. He said 
there are more than 80 additional acres on the landfill site that the 
town hopes to put to use for the collection of wind energy.
