House Moved - Wind Generator in Place

The caretaker house in the Burton Park was finally moved to its new location at the top of Windcrest last week.  The house (now at 7000 Windcrest) made the trip over a two day period.  It is now sitting on the new foundation.  The old basement has been filled in, and will need to be regraded when the frost is out of the ground this spring (careful, the ground is pretty rough in this area now!).  The "meadow" area really looks big without the house in the center of it! 

The log awaited wind and solar generator at the Library was also put up last week.  The generator is operating and is connected to a display in the Library indicating the amount of electricity being produced.  The project (initiated by Township Clerk Ron Goodyke) will provide a wonderful resource for students studying the effects of wind and solar energy on our daily lives.
