Wheatland County is committed to building strong and resilient communities and understands the importance of supporting community initiatives and cultural activities to achieve this goal.
In order to assist in funding programs that support community initiatives and cultural activities, Wheatland Wind Project LP has entered into an agreement with the County to establish a Community Benefits Fund.
“Quality of life is enhanced through the provision of these support initiatives to community organizations, which nurtures the health and well-being of our communities and contributes to the sustainability of Wheatland County,” says Wheatland County Reeve Amber Link.
Under this agreement, the Wheatland Wind Project LP will provide financial contributions of $25,000 annually for a period of approximately 25 years to fund various initiatives, scholarships, organizations, and events that will benefit the local community.
“Wheatland County looks forward to building a positive working relationship with Wheatland Wind Project LP to administer the Community Benefits program and supporting the local community,” says Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Matthew Boscariol.
The program will begin after the first full year of operation of the Wheatland Wind Project with the first funding allocations anticipated to begin in the year of 2024. Wheatland Wind Project LP owns the Wheatland Wind Project, which is currently under construction.
