The 300 MW Streator Cayuga Ridge South Wind Farm, located near Odell, Illinois, officially started generating power in March 2010.[1] The developer received a $170 million grant through the U.S. Department of Treasury's Section 1603 grants-in-lieu-of-tax-credits program.[2] About 300 construction jobs were created, and for every 10 wind turbines one full-time maintenance position has been created. The county also expects to receive about $3.3 million per year in tax revenue from the wind farm.
Many of the wind farm's turbines can be easily seen from Interstate 55.
