Hopkins Road Being Worked On/Hotline For Wind Company Concerns
Everpower Wind officials say that Hopkins Road in the Steuben County Town of Howard, from Mill Road to County Route 27, is temporarily closed for improvements to support Howard Wind Farm construction vehicles. According to Everpower, Hopkins Road is expected to be closed for about a week, but no later than December 23. There will not be an onsite detour.
“We are trying to do as much preparatory work as possible before the end of the year,” said Kevin Sheen, EverPower’s senior director of development. “By starting now, it should allow us to be ahead of schedule for when construction begins in Spring 2011.”
Residents will also see Delaney Construction vehicles and construction equipment moving into the region. For complete construction information or updates, please visit www.howardwind.com.
In other Howard wind news, EverPower officials have announced a customer service hotline for residents of Steuben County who have a question or concern regarding the construction of the wind farm. The toll-free phone number is 1-888-450-6731. An Everpower spokesman says that the phone line is available 24-hours a day, seven days a week and will remain in operation for one year after construction has been completed.
“It is the easy and most efficient way the community can have their questions or concerns addressed as quickly as possible,” said Kevin Sheen, EverPower’s senior director of development. “The calls will be answered by a person and not a machine. The person will then forward the inquiry to the proper person or company, allowing us to respond within a week of the initial inquiry.”
Steuben County residents can also have their questions and concerns addressed in writing. To submit a written question or concern, please forward to Howard Wind LLC Customer Service; 44 East 30th Street, 10th floor; New York, NY 10016.
