Federal money heading to Worth County wind farm

September 23, 2009 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Federal officials say $93-million in funding will go toward the development of a wind farm in northern Iowa’s Worth County. The Treasury Department has made the second round of awards through a section of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that provides assistance to energy producers in place of tax credits that they may not otherwise be able to utilize.

Of the $550 million in new awards nationally, $93.4 million has been awarded to the Barton Wind Farm of Kensett. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin says in a written statement that the wind energy industry helps to create jobs in Iowa and grow the state’s economy, while at the same time lowering the cost of energy.
