About Us

The Towns of Cape Vincent and Lyme are located in the northwestern part of Jefferson County, New York near the Canadian border. We are geographically situated along Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River in a very beautiful part of our state, where wind is abundant and the sunsets are astonishing.

The Voters For Wind is a grassroots organization dedicated to the promotion of renewable energy. Our goals are to encourage wind power development and other viable renewable energy sources for our area and to educate the public on the necessity of using our resources wisely.

Mission Statement

Voters for Wind promotes positive public understanding of wind power project benefits through programs and activities to inform the public of environmental and economic benefits of renewable energy resources in our region. As part of our mission we encourage the construction of renewable energy projects, such as the St. Lawrence Wind Farm and Cape Vincent Wind Farm which includes the Town of Lyme. We are committed to making cleaner, healthier, and affordable energy alternatives for generations to come.”
