ROCKFORD -- A Rockford building could soon generate its own power.  The owners of the building that house Rockford Urban Ministries and Just Goods want to install a wind turbine generator.  The 18-foot-tall generator will sit on the roof of the building at 201 South Seventh Street.  They hope the wind will generate enough electricity to power the first floor. 

"We want to make this a model for small scale commercial, so people see this as a way to generate their own power," says Lee Schreiner of Rockford Urban Ministries. 

The City of Rockford has granted a special-use permit for the plan.  Now the owners need to raise enough money to pay for the turbine.
