The grant was issued by the US Treasury Department in accordance with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The proceeds of the grant went toward partial payments of construction financing arranged by the company for the community wind project.
Juhl Wind CEO Dan Juhl said that the company believes that the US stimulus grants make perfect sense for community owned wind farms.
"Community owned wind farms not only deliver a totally clean and low cost energy source like wind power, but also help truly secure our US energy future by keeping the ownership of this resource in the hands of real Americans," Juhl said.
Juhl Wind is a community-based wind power development and management company.
