The Agricola Wind Project is a proposed up to 99-megawatt wind energy generation facility located on private land in the Towns of Scipio and Venice in Cayuga County, New York.
The Project is expected to provide a total of $63 million in local investments to the Towns of Scipio and Venice, Cayuga County, the Southern Cayuga County School District, local fire districts, and participating landowners.
The Towns are expected to share approximately $400,000 annually through the development of a Host Community Agreement, based on past precedent set by similar projects of this scale in New York State.
The Project is expected to create over 52 full-time construction jobs.
The Project is estimated to hire up to three local long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) managers and will contract local labor for ongoing services such as road repair, snow removal, and vegetation management.
To accommodate the construction activities and operations of the site, the Project will improve and repair local town, county, and state roads as necessary to maintain pre-construction conditions.
