Montana OKs wind turbines on state school lands

Eight wind turbines have been approved for state-owned school trust property in Sweet Grass County as part of a larger wind farm that would be the county’s first.

Planned for the rolling terrain north of Interstate 90 south of the Crazy Mountains and three miles northeast of Springdale, the Coyote Wind Project would generate at least $21,600 in annual revenue for the state, said Dick Moore, area manager of the state Department of Natural Resource’s Southern Land Office in Billings.
