The president and owner of St. George’s Renewable Energies LLC has a vision to not only put wind turbines throughout the region and in Lake Erie, but also to create 12,000 to 13,000 new first-tier jobs by drawing one of the top three wind turbine manufacturers to Lorain County and specifically Lorain.
Sekulic has asked Lorain Councilman Dennis Flores, D-2, to sponsor legislation that would give his company the ability to put 13 wind turbines off the Lorain shoreline when the time comes. The turbines would all be more than 1,000 yards off shore and would start at the western end of the city and move east, Sekulic said.
“That’s an excellent location,” he said, adding that area along the lake is mostly commercial.
Besides the potential need for many wind turbines, the area can also offer the manufacturers a supplier base, fresh water, shipping ability and a skilled workforce.
