Wind power being generated in county

Electrical power generated by a wind turbine has come to Knox County. For 14 months, a turbine generator has been working on Windy Hill Farm, owned by Jim Gabriel on Ohio 229 west of Mount Vernon. Mounted on a 100-foot tower, the turbine stands 1,440 feet above sea level, almost the highest point in Knox County. Gabriel said the wind is better and more consistent at that height.
