Nordex USA Inc. and Way Wind LLC are announcing plans for development and later construction of a wind farm in Wayne County, Neb.
The turbines for the farm will be manufactured at Nordex's plant in Jonesboro, Ark. The companies say in a news release that Chicago-based Nordex will provide 48 turbines for the project.
Nordex has both completed and current installations in several states, including Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Maryland, Iowa, Idaho and Colorado. The Jonesboro facility will fill all future orders, shipping turbines to wind farms around the country.
The company said the plant had more than 70 employees at the end of 2010 and could expand to about 700 workers during the next four years.
