Thousands of new jobs are opening up in the growing wind turbine industry.
Southeast Connecticut is gearing up to be a center of operation for building, erecting, and training people to deliver the eco-power source.
A unique training facility is located in Groton, where a new tower will be used to help train thousands of new technicians and engineers needed to build, install, and maintain offshore wind turbine farms that Vineyard Wind is planning to build off the east coast.
