More than nine years after it was first publicly proposed, and nearly a year after it was approved by state environmental officials, construction is about to begin on a commercial wind farm in western Washington County. Downeast Wind, a project of Virginia-based Apex Clean Energy, has hired Woolwich-based Reed & Reed as the general contractor of the wind power project, which will include 30 turbine sites spread out among various locations in the town of Columbia and in townships 18 and 24 in the state’s Unorganized Territory.
