Illinois Schools to Generate Cash with Wind Farm. By Robert Channick, Chicago Tribune, August 20, 2010. "A plan by three struggling suburban school districts to create a revenue-generating wind farm has picked up some velocity this summer. Empowered by recent legislation... [they] have joined together to build a 13-turbine wind farm that would sell energy to defray their own electrical bills. The unique project would be in rural Stark County, about 140 miles southwest of Chicago... Facing operating shortfalls... all three school boards approved the formation of a separate agency that will issue bonds, recruit investors and apply for federal grants to get the $50 million in needed financing in place."
