Thousands of other new jobs could be created in the manufacturing of turbine parts for additional projects.
The company wants to erect 106 turbines off Block Island.
The project would need to reach financing and power purchase agreements with utilities that serve the state.

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
