COMMUNITY BENEFITS
Bringing Economic Opportunities
Wind farms are compatible with agriculture and are fast becoming an important component of farm viability in Texas and many areas across the country. They can also generate significant economic benefits for the communities that host them.
Employment Opportunities
The Hubbard Wind Energy Center will create local employment opportunities, including hundreds of construction jobs for the combined construction phases of the projects, and 10 to 14 good-paying, full-time jobs to maintain and operate.
Landowners Payments
Together, the two phases of Hubbard Wind will provide approximately $78 million* in payments to Limestone and Hill County landowners - stable, reliable income families can depend on, regardless of weather.
County Tax Revenue
Together, the two phases of Hubbard Wind will provide millions* in additional revenue for Limestone and Hill Counties, money that can enhance local roads, schools and services.
Local Spending
Wind farms provide indirect income to local businesses, including hotels, restaurants, caterers and other companies.
