Renewable Energy: Wind Monitoring
Program / E85 Fuel -
Lanark is taking a step in the direction of
renewable energy. June 9th, 2006 Lanark erected a 50 meter (165 feet) MET
tower to monitor wind speed near the center of Carroll County. The data
will be available to the public so that schools, entrepreneurs, farms,
etc. that are nearby can use the information to determine the viability of
wind turbines on their property. Data should being to be available
in late July. The results can be viewed at www.illinoiswind.org.

On a related note, the City will have another renewable energy source available even sooner. The Carroll Service Fuel 24 station (along highway 52/64 on the Southwest corner of town) has installed an E85 fuel pump. The first public pump in Carroll County.
Medallion
Cabinetry,
a division of Elkay Manufacturing that produces kitchen
and bath cabinets, will be opening the factory that once produced water
coolers in Lanark. It was announced November 1, 2005 that they are
