FUNDS AT WORK!

Medford Wind Turbine

Funds raised by Medford homes participation in  GreenUp™ have helped pay for a small wind turbine, to be erected and commissioned in the fall of 2008.  Although the turbine will pay for itself through energy savings, GreenUp™ funds are being used to help with the up-front construction costs.
