pxfuel.com A recently approved wind farm could bring significant tax dollars to Albany County and the state, while helping humanity reduce carbon emissions. ConnectGen cleared a major hurdle Tuesday night, winning approval from the Albany County Commissioners for the planned Rail Tie Wind Project. But the approval came with some stipulations. Those stipulations represent something of a compromise with the vocal and well-organized movement that fought the wind farm for more than a year. The courtroom where the commissioners met was packed with both opponents and supporters of the project. The wind farm could have as many as 120 turbines and will cover some 26,000 acres of private and state land. The permitting process has taken more than a year, as ConnectGen made its case and developed a proposal that complies with existing regulations.
