RC&D, Baca Green receive rural development grantColorado Mike Bennett, Rural Development State Director, recently presented Southeast Colorado Resource Conservation and Development a grant award check for $80,115. Matt Heimerich, Southeast Colorado RC&D Council Chair, said the RC&D was pleased to partner with Baca Green Energy in its efforts to establish a wind farm in Baca County. The grant will be used to purchase and install four meteorological towers that will gather wind data in Baca County. Fred Hefley, speaking on behalf of Baca Green Energy, stated getting anemometers in place to collect specific onsite wind data is the first step towards building a wind farm. Baca Green Energy LLC was formed in 2003 with the mission of developing and operating a wind energy company in Baca County. The group is 28 members strong, and comprised of local county stakeholders. They are hoping to build a large wind farm of 100 or more generators. Hefley said the contractor will be installing the meteorological towers sometime this month. Date: 8/23/06
