Windspire Wind Turbine Groundbreaking Ceremony


On Monday, March 16, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Warren Consolidated Schools will break ground on the first Windspire wind turbine to be installed at a K-12 public school within the state of Michigan. This groundbreaking ceremony will take place at Butcher Educational Center, home of the Macomb Mathematics Science Technology Center. Butcher Center is located at 27500 Cosgrove, Warren, Mi. 48092.


The 30 foot wind turbine will generate electricity for the Butcher Educational Center and provide the opportunity for students to conduct wind research as part of the curriculum for the Macomb Mathematics Science Technology Center. The Windspire wind turbine is one of only ten located in the state of Michigan and represents the future of harnessing wind energy for the purpose of generating electricity for residential and commercial use.


This groundbreaking ceremony represents Warren Consolidated Schools commitment to exploring renewable energy opportunities to enhance student curriculum and to lessen the reliance on fossil fuels to operate the buildings throughout the district. Warren Consolidated Schools continues its commitment to the community to reduce operational costs through alternative solutions using renewable energy concepts.
