LOWELL, Ind. -- A proposed wind farm in Lake County could hold nearly four times the turbines initially planned under an expansion plan announced by the developer.

Australian-based Windlab wants to more than double, to 23,000 acres, the footprint of the proposed Eagle Creek Wind Park east of Lowell. That would allow up to 198 turbines on the property.

It's a step in the right direction.
