Wind power is an economic engine for a rural American community

Learn about the rural town of Goldendale in Klickitat County, WA where members of this formerly struggling community now refer to Cannon Power Group's Wind Farm as their own town's saving grace.

Goldendale residents tell the story of how wind energy changed the dynamics of their town and the surrounding region to breathe new life into their local economy. Like many small towns in rural America, Goldendale had been a community where for many of the younger members of its families, job opportunities lay elsewhere. With the WP/WF project, Cannon Power Group has helped to change that economic equation by generating hundreds of new jobs and relying primarily on local businesses for support.

The capital investment in Klickitat County from the project already exceeds $1 billion to date.
