The slump in the economy has put the expansion of a wind turbine project outside of Kingman on a temporary hold.
Western Wind Energy will ask the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission for a four-year extension of time on a rezone for the second phase of its wind farm in the foothills near the Nucor steel plant.
According to information provided to the commission, Western Wind Energy is still negotiating an agreement to sell the energy generated by the wind farm.
The five wind turbines from the first phase of the project, which can be seen by motorists driving down El Trovatore Hill on Andy Devine Avenue, produce power for UniSource Energy Services.
