A proposed wind farm for the Township of Shuniah could have some major tax benefits. Reeve Maria Harding says if the 40 turbines are built in the community, it could reduce taxes by about 8 per cent. However Harding can't say when the project will become a reality. She says it's been 6 years in the making and they are still waiting. The company proposing the wind farm, still needs to get provincial government approval for the project.
