MSU to measure wind speeds in Antrim County
In Fed funding to help study wind speeds in Michigan, the AP reports that Michigan State University will receive $83,806 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to measure wind speeds in Michigan.
The state says in a release Thursday that the project is designed to assess Michigan's wind energy potential and encourage job growth in that industry.
Michigan State will install anemometers on public safety communications towers in Gratiot, Delta, Antrim, Mason and Hillsdale counties. The new information will help create a wind power map for Michigan, identifying and promoting areas best suited for wind power development.
