ROCK SPRINGS - Wind power development in southwest Wyoming could get a big boost Tuesday from the Sweetwater County Commission.

The three-member board will meet at 5:30 p.m. in Rock Springs City Hall to gather public comments - and possibly vote on - a proposal by a Utah wind developer to construct 237 wind energy towers on White Mountain.

Tasco Engineering Inc. of Lehi is spearheading the county's first substantial wind energy project and is seeking a conditional use permit from the county for its White Mountain Wind Farm Project.

The firm has incorporated two limited liability companies- Teton Wind and and White Mountain Wind - to develop the approximately $200 million wind project.
