Allegany Wind Project (Allegany, New York)

The Allegany Wind Project is located in the Town of Allegany, in New York's southern tier. Comprised of approximately 25-30 turbines, the project will be scattered throughout some 7,000 acres of primarily forested land in western New York.

This website is intended as a resource for general information about the wind farm and will provide up-to-date information about the progress of environmental studies, permit applications, and technical assessments as the project moves forward.

The Draft Environmental Impact Statement [DEIS] for the Allegany Wind Project is available here.
