A full roster of government officials were on hand for a ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday to mark the opening of the Wind Technology Testing Center on Terminal Street. The center is the first in the country to offer testing for large wind turbine blades (up to 90 meters) in length — and the largest such facility in the world. It cost about $40 million to build, and funding came, in part from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
