Tour of Medford’s Wind Turbine July 12

Join us at the McGlynn Middle/Elementary School library to learn about clean energy and to hear the story of the Medford Wind Turbine.

The turbine project was coordinated by the City of Medford and the Medford Clean Energy Committee and provides around 10% of the power for the McGlynn School. Mayor Michael McGlynn will start us off with a brief introduction regarding the installation of the turbine in January 2009 and the many benefits that the city has already derived. We will then learn about the installation of the turbine including the efforts that were put forth to reach out to the community.

After the presentation, we will get a chance to see the turbine up close and walk right up to the base of it. Join us for this great opportunity to learn more about alternative energy and to see a turbine in action.

The tour is taking place from 9:00-11:00AM and is located behind the McGlynn Middle/Elementary School, 3002 Mystic Valley Parkway. Click here to RSVP.
