A persistent rain Thursday in west-central North Dakota moved the
Bison Wind Energy Center dedication from the site of the project to a
more urban environment, but that hardly seemed to dampen the spirits of
attendees to the ceremony and luncheon marking the completion of the
massive project.
With some of the state’s most prominent political
leaders looking on and close to 200 people packing the New Salem City
Auditorium, top executives from Minnesota Power/ALLETE touted their $500
million baby — a 50,000-acre network of over 100 wind turbines in
Oliver and Morton counties.
