Liberty Power opens office in Weatherly

Liberty Power is opening a field office in Weatherly to answer residents questions about the proposed Broad Mountain Wind Project and ensure accurate information is available to anyone interested in the development.

The proposed 80-megawatt wind project features 21 turbines in Packer Township and related transmission line access in Nesquehoning. The project currently is in the early phases of permitting locally. The first zoning meeting is set for April 17.

“Liberty Power is committed to an open and active dialogue with our neighbors,” said Project Manager Rob Miller. “We want residents to have as much information as they can so they can be fully informed and understand every detail of this project. We want anyone with questions to contact us or come see us. We are committed to ensuring communities here realize the full environmental and economic benefits of this clean energy project.”

The new office is located at Weatherly Plaza, 202 Carbon St.

Office hours also will be posted regularly at www.broadmountainwindproject.com.

Residents are encouraged to call toll free at 866-591-5005 to schedule a visit or make an appointment.
