Project overview
Marathon Wind Farm would be located in western Marathon County in Brighton and Eau Pleine Townships. The wind farm would have minimal impacts on current land use and would strengthen the local economy of Marathon County through landowner payments, job creation, and payments to the local government.
Marathon Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Marathon Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
