Steve Hughes reports for the Times Union that in Coeymans the Carver Cos. have backed off part of their proposal for for an 80-acre wind turbine facility there, and developers now say they will not need the town to rezone a 364-acre wildlife management area. In southern Albany County, the wind turbine facility project would be just north of the Port of Coeymans, between Route 144 and the Hudson River. Carver Cos. now says they can keep the manufacturing portion of the project on land owned by Holcim just north of the Port of Coeymans, between Route 144 and the Hudson River that is already zoned for manufacturing. The developers hope to manufacture more than 200 wind turbine blades a year and create up to 600 jobs in Coeymans. Read more about this story in the Times Union.
