Grant County commissioners have approved a conditional use permit and payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement for the project. Under the PILOT deal Nordex will pay $3000 per megawatt annually plus a one-time payment of $150,000.
The developer is expected to finalize a road agreement and apply for a special use permit and building permits within the next two months, Grant County economic development director Kirk Schweitzer told reNews.
“We hope to be under construction this fall,” said Scheitzer. Work this year likely will consist of road building and electrical work with foundations and turbine construction starting next spring.
