The Toledo Zoo has entered the world of windpower.  Green by Design installed a Skystream 3.7 on a 60' monopole tower as part of the parking lot expansion project.  Watch a video of the tower raising and learn more about the project.

 
Installation is now complete for the first turbine at Clay High School's wind farm.  Check out photos from the tower raising.  Data will also be posted on the high school's website.
