• Three Jefferson West High School seniors, Mark Flood, Noah Livingston and Laura Newberry, have been working on seeing a wind turbine constructed and functioning at the high school by the time they graduate in May.

The students estimate there will be about $2,000 in additional costs not covered. Leavenworth Jefferson Electric Cooperative read about the project in a newspaper article written by the students and wanted to be involved.

They were invited to make a presentation regarding the project at the February meeting of the Meriden-Ozawkie Chamber of Commerce. Following the presentation, LJEC presented a check for $500.

Construction is scheduled to begin in late April, and the turbine will be located between the high school and middle school, next to the “JW Circle.” Completion is expected in May.
