Community Engagement

  • Landowner Dinner
    • The Deer Field II project team had the pleasure of hosting a landowner dinner at Lewisville Smoke, located within the project boundaries at the intersection of the Kinde Road and Huron City Road. It was a great turn out, with approximately 130 landowners participating in the event. In addition to enjoying some great food, guests had the opportunity to connect with members of Liberty Power (project owner), White Construction inc. (general contractor), Vestas and Siemens Gamesa (turbine suppliers). We thank all of the landowners who joined us in this wonderful afternoon and for their supporting towards the project.  
  • Cheeseburger Festival
    • The Deer Field II Project Team had the opportunity to attend the Caseville Cheeseburger Festival, which takes place on Michigan’s Thumb Coast. To support the festivities, Liberty Power was more than happy to provide a donation, while also indulging in some of the great cheeseburgers the festival had to offer.
