A manufacturer of wind energy technology has announced plans to site a new development and production facility in New Albany, Ind., creating more than 260 new jobs by 2012.
WindStream Technologies Inc., which manufactures small-scale wind turbines called TurboMills, will invest several million dollars to establish its newest operations at the Purdue Technology Center in the Purdue Research Park of Southeast Indiana. The 725-acre research park is home to one of the largest university-affiliated business incubation complexes in the country. The park is currently home to more than 160 companies, approximately 100 of which are technology related, with another 39 being incubator businesses.
