Vermont Business Magazine Tours are under way at Green Mountain Power’s Kingdom Community Wind site in Lowell and will go through August 26. Since the tours started in the beginning of June, Green Mountain Power has brought more than 400 people to the top of Lowell Mountain to get an up-close view of the 21 turbine project. During the free tour, visitors have the opportunity to learn about the project and experience how the turbines operate and harness the power of wind.
“Green Mountain Power is thrilled to once again offer these free tours to the public,” said GMP Spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure. “We’ve enjoyed showing Vermonters as well as many out-of-state tourists how we built the project to high environmental standards.”
