US Indiana-based Performance Services, Inc. Monday announced that agreements have been reached with landowners to secure 2,500 acres of land to support a 50 megawatt wind farm in northwest Tippecanoe County. The site offers a strong wind resource, excellent access to transmission lines, and compatibility with existing land use.

In announcing the company's intent to construct the wind farm, Tim Thoman, president of Performance Services, said, "We are excited to move this important project to reality. We have commenced our detailed wind and environmental studies and look forward to those findings in the next several months."

A.J. Booher, of A.J. and Amy Booher Farm, said, "Without question, wind energy is important. We cannot rely on fossil fuels forever."

With anticipated positive study results, Performance Park Wind Farm is expected to be operational by December of 2012.

Performance Services, Inc. is an Indiana design-build company, with more than 12 years of success and experience implementing design-build and guaranteed energy saving contracts.
