Wind tower component shipment delayed in Peru

By John T. Ryan

Peru Fire Department vehicles still have access to the Bear Swamp Road; however, the fire stations’s driveway was packed with tractors and trailers this morning. About 11 a.m. a crane was preparing to lift a giant wind turbine nacelle off one trailer and on to another.  Eight nacelles are being transported from a South Junction Road location in the Town of Plattsburgh through Peru. They will ultimately be installed in a Mehoopany, Pennsylvania wind farm.  (See the Press Republican’s previous story) Almost 250 hubs will travel south on Route 11 to Route 81 near Watertown.
