A native of the Lee County area, Keith Bolin is a Project Consultant for the Green River Wind Farm project. Keith is also a member of the Bureau Valley School Board and a passionate advocate for wind energy. Having been raised in rural Manlius, Keith is pleased to say that he is "a farm kid" through-and-through. While keeping a fastidious eye on his crops, Keith can also be found busy working in Mainstream's Walnut office to help bring wind energy to the local community. In fact, the Green River Wind Farm is not his first wind energy project; in 2005, Keith was a key proponent of the successful movement that led to the Bureau Valley Schools becoming the first school district in the State of Illinois to own and operate a wind turbine on its grounds-a 660 kw Vestas V47 wind turbine. Today, Keith assists the Green River Wind Farm team in the permitting process, communicates with governmental and non-governmental organizations affected by Mainstream's wind projects in development, and most importantly, speaks regularly with farmers about the rural economic development benefits that wind farms bring to communities like theirs. "I like the idea that I am working for a company that cares about these communities, and understands that this is a partnership," Keith says. "[The project] is in our backyard and positively affects our friends and neighbors. When this wind farm is built and online, people will look back and say, ‘Of course this was a good idea.'" Most of all, he adds, "I believe in Green River Wind Project."
