More than a hundred business people, community members, and elected officials from the Hudson Valley attended the formal dedication in Poughkeepsie of the Aerotecture Urban Wind Turbine being developed by AeroCIty LLC, a client of our member Hudson Valley Center for Innovation.

John Hall (19th Congressional District); keynote speaker Assemblyman Kevin Cahill (101st Assembly District and chairman of the Assembly Energy Committee); and Sarah Osgood of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority giving AeroCity President Bill Jacoby the good news of a $1 million competitive NYSERDA award.
