The Audubon County Engineer’s Office report NextEra Energy will start mowing and working in the road ways, beginning Monday July 9th. NextEra Energy will be working on the Heartland Divide Wind Energy Center in Audubon County until the end of the year. Officials say there will be many different phases to the project. There will also be extra traffic in the area and crews in different parts of the road way so please be aware as you travel. Parts of this project will also go into Guthrie County.

Crews will be in the area until the project is done, hopefully by the end of the year. The wind turbines themselves are not schedule to come until the end of the October but there will be lots of trucks, cement haulers, rock haulers and so on in the area getting sites ready.
