Hearings set for proposed Tazewell wind farm
The project would cover more than 11,000 acres of farmland straddling Tazewell and Logan counties just east of Interstate 155.
Once estimated at $120 million, the total cost of the project is now expected to be between $175 million and $200 million, Whitlock said Monday.
The project would be the second central Illinois wind farm development for Horizon, which operates the Twin Groves wind farm just east of Bloomington.
The Houston-based renewable energy company will apply for permits for 29 towers in Logan County later this week.
