First Wind spokesman John Lamontagne says the company has every reason to believe it can get started soon on 68 more turbines — once it wins a contract to sell the power.
The company announced the expansion in April after winning federal approval. It put a contractor to work in May building roads and doing other work, then stopped the project.
Madison, Wis.-based RMT Inc. says it laid off some workers and reassigned others because of the delay.
Milford Mayor Bryan Sherwood says crews spend a lot of money in town and he's hopeful the project can resume by August.
First Wind is selling power from 97 turbines in Utah's west desert to Los Angeles, Burbank and Pasadena.
