Thank you to everyone who joined Liberty Renewables for our 2nd Open House Event for Agricola Wind!
Roughly 50 members of the community attended, including project landowners, project neighbors, and local government representatives. Frequently asked questions covered topics such as noise, permitting, visual impacts, and economic benefits. Liberty hopes to host another event later in 2022 or early in 2023, at which point we will have a draft project layout to share.
If you were unable to attend the event, please find links to the materials shared below. You can also reach out with any questions or concerns, we’d love to hear from you!

The first project newsletter for Agricola Wind is now available:
paid annually to Town governments through a Host Community Benefit Agreement, in additional to monthly utility bill rebates for Town residents
shared annually between Towns, the Cayuga County IDA, and the Southern Cayuga School District
paid annually to local landowners participating in the Project
additional annual payments made to Project neighbors
Development activities include community engagement, land leasing, wind resource assessments, environmental studies, interconnection studies, New York State Section 94-C permit process, and local permitting.
Construction activities will take approximately 18 months.
Post-construction monitoring for wildlife, sound, and other environmental compliance measures will continue for 2 years. The project will have an operational lifespan of at least 25 years.
Proposed turbine locations are still being finalized and are subject to change during the environmental permitting process. This map shows a rough outline of the project boundary, including properties that may host turbines or other infrastructure in the future as well as properties that will not.
Developed from real questions we received from local residents, these frequently asked questions and answers provide more detail on the proposed project.
