A company that wants to build a wind farm south of Rock Springs says the project would create 200 jobs during construction and lead to 25 long-term jobs once it starts operations. EnXco presented the economic benefits of the proposal during a public hearing on the proposal Monday in Rock Springs. The company wants to build between 70 and 100 wind turbines on the south side of Quaking Aspen Mountain. The company's regional manager, Greg Probst, said it picked a site where the turbines wouldn't be visible from Rock Springs, Green River or White Mountain. Some residents are concerned about how the turbines could affect big-game hunting and sage grouse habitat. dThe company hopes to complete an environmental review in early 2015.
