About Illinois Wind Located at Western Illinois University, the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs promotes improvement of the quality of life in rural areas by developing public-private partnerships with local agencies concerning small business development and community development projects. Institute supported programs include rural economic and community development (including value-added agriculture), health care, education, public transportation, public management policies, housing, and technology. As part of its work, the Institute is committed to assisting rural residents and communities of Illinois in building knowledge of wind power. This knowledge will lead to sound decision making regarding the development of wind energy and facilitate development where it is feasible to do so. This work is made possible by a grant from the Energy Foundation and a grant by the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, which is the sole funding source of the statewide wind-monitoring program.
