Other comments	Project will have between 5-7 turbines and be 3-5 miles offshore. The project is intended to lower the cost of future wind farms in Lake Erie and the project is not expected to turn a profit. Lease renewal depends on the site being live by September 2016. The vision is that this project will be followed by subsequent projects with a long-term goal of 1,000 megawatts distributed over several industrial projects in the Ohio waters of Lake Erie by 2020
