As a note of special interest to those who are tracking our "Wind Turbine Alliance" initiative, it comes with great pleasure to have the support of someone so influentual as T Boone Pickens.
Our initiative started as a collaboration between the Keeneyville School District and Mayor Rod Craig to seek an alternatives to building a turbine behind Greenbrook School next to the landfill. We embarked on a plan to build an Alliance with the School Districts that touch Hanover Park. The plan was finalized with support from Representative Crespo by introducing HB6660.
It's a brand new year and a brand new day for Illinois. We have a new governor, new president of the State Senate, and a new president of the United States. All of these individuals are supportive of Wind Turbine Initiatives. Wind energy curtails our dependence on foreign oil, supports sustainable energy products, creates new jobs, and saves tax payers dollars. These are exciting times and I couldn't be more proud of this effort and the people of Hanover Park who have been supportive. When I shared my vision in the Village Hi-Lighter many months ago, I heard from many of you, so thank you very much.
The residents of Hanover Park should be proud. Proud of the School Districts who are supporting the plan and proud of being apart of this grass roots effort.
Thank you, T Boone Pickens for acknowledging Mr. Gary Ofisher, Keeneyville School District 20 and all those who are working to acknowledge this plan.
We are on our way...

Recently my family and I went out west towards the Galena area. One the way we passed a wind farm. Those turbines were so awesome looking. The kids were in awe of the size and the silence of the moving (almost) works of art. We even stopped to get out and watch them for a while. I think (other than technological upgrading) we should get some IN Hanover Park! I would consider volunteer my back yard (if it helps cut every ones electricity load)
