Important to know
Nine white turbines stand tall near the edge of town, part of the Sandy Ridge Wind Farm operation by Liberty Power. These turbines, along with other wind farms in Centre County, help power 15,000 homes, and Liberty Power plans to expand the operation. The wind farm is quiet and not near any residences, so noise is not a concern.
