Software co. says 6 turbines to be active by summer

One of Epic's six planned turbines is up and running as of last week. The single operational tower at the mini wind turbine site northwest of Madison is generating 800 KW of energy, Barb Hernandez with Epic said.

A representative for the Verona medical software giant said the whole project won't be complete and operating until this summer, when a line connecting the six turbines is in place.

First news of the project came in mid-October, when Epic confirmed information that it planned to build a wind farm with six 262-foot turbines to help supplement the company’s energy needs. Epic’s director of facilities and engineering, Bruce Richards, told Channel3000.com in October that the company hoped to provide 85 percent of its energy with wind power by 2014.

Submitted by Susie Taylor on Thursday, May 31st, 2:45 pm

Inland Companies is excited to announce that effective May 2012, its brokerage and property management teams are affiliating with Colliers International.

While its brokerage and property management teams remain locally owned and operated by Inland Companies, these divisions will now be doing business as Colliers International Wisconsin.

Over the course of the next 6 to 12 months the company's signage (both leasing and management) and property marketing materials will be switched.

Additionally, emails will change to reflect Colliers’ national standard, however, inlandcompanies.com emails will remain active so as not to disrupt any immediate communications.

Joining the Colliers family wasn’t a decision that was made lightly, but officials said they felt it was one that would accelerate our ability to serve its clients in a variety of ways.
