The Adair County Board of Supervisors will meet 9-a.m. Wednesday in the Adair County Boardroom at the courthouse, in Greenfield. On their agenda is discussion with Sheriff Jeff Vandewater, with regard to a vehicle purchase, and Matt Ott, with MidAmerican Energy, as it pertains to the Wind Farm Project. MidAmerican announced on May 1st, construction of two new wind farm projects will begin this summer, in Adair County. They include the “Arbor Hill” and “Orient Wind Farm” projects.

Officials have said previously, the Arbor Hill wind farm project features 125 wind turbines. The Orient wind farm project will have 150 turbines, with the option to add up to 100 more. The combined projects, when completed, can produce up to 550 megawatts of energy, or enough to power 230,000 average Iowa homes. The newest projects will add to MidAmerican’s complement of three other wind farms already in Adair County. Together, the two new wind energy projects are expected to add an estimated $6.6 million in annual property taxes for Adair County.

In other business, County Engineer Nick Kauffman will present documents for the Board to sign with regard to a road rock contract, a bridge construction design agreement, and other, regular department matters.
