Ishpeming wind turbine work to continue

ISHPEMING - Although it has been several months since area residents last saw activity at the site of the wind turbine near the Pioneer Bluffs Apartments in Ishpeming, the company developing the turbine said the work will be completed.

"We are about safety and producing something that will be a good product," said Bryan Zaplitny, CEO of MTI Energy Management based in downstate Brighton, which has been carrying out work on the turbine in cooperation with McKenzie Bay International. "There have been a lot of things that have been solved."

However, Zaplitny said a completion date has not been set.

"I'm not going to prematurely say anything," he said. "We're looking for a safe and successful completion rather than an arbitrary schedule."
