Federal funds awarded to Oregon’s Lake County for biomass projects

In Oregon, Federal stimulus funds have been awarded to Lake County for biomass projects. The Lakeview cogeneration project will receive $1.7 million and must be fully operational by mid-February 2012. The new plant is expected to produce enough electricity to sell to utility companies. The project will also improve air quality, as an old boiler system at the county’s sawmill will be replaced by a new biomass system, using the most cutting edge technology available. County Commissioner Brad Winters said the project will also be a big boost to the local environment and economy.
