Each turbine would be 420 feet high from ground to blade tips and would generate 2.5 megawatts of energy. If all 28 are constructed, the project would produce 70 megawatts — enough to supply 20,000 homes.
Project manager Stephen Pulich says the electricity would go into the power grid for use in the Manistee area.
Forest Service spokesman Ken Arbogast says it probably will take a year to consider the proposal.
