SC Johnson Wind Turbines Part of Village Landscape Soon

Construction of SC Johnson's wind turbines is underway at the Waxdale plant in Mount Pleasant.

Pieces of wind turbines arrived at SC Johnson's Waxdale plant in Mount Pleasant Monday. When complete and operational, the pair of turbines will generate 15 percent of the plant's electricity needs.

The company's goal is to eventually get all of Waxdale's energy from sources produced onsite, with a full 60 percent coming from renewable sources.

Mount Pleasant trustees last December approved the turbines with a 6-1 vote.
