The federal Bureau of Land Management issued a permit giving a Massachusetts company permission to build 159 power turbines 10 miles northeast of Milford.

As for the project's environmental impact, the BLM said it had received a "finding of no significance," clearing the way for the project's construction, which is expected to start next month.

Plans for First Wind's 262-foot-tall structures set on 40 acres elicited no negative comments from area residents, according to the bureau.
