Wind farm expected to employ at least 400 workers
The construction of a planned wind project straddling the border of Albany County and Carbon County is expected to employ 400 workers during 2022, according to an application for an industrial development permit filed with the Department of Environmental Quality in July.
Construction for both projects is estimated to cost about $1 billion.
The parent company of the Two Rivers Wind and Lucky Star Wind projects, Canada-based BluEarth Renewables, filed July 15 for the DEQ permit to construct the wind farm near Rock River and Medicine Bow.
During 19 months of construction, the projects should employ an average of 144 workers, though 80 percent of those workers are expected to be “non-local.”
To accommodate the workforce, project backers are considering building a man-camp in Carbon County.
