It has been along process and has slipped many area residents’ minds but the wind farm slated for the area has crossed another hurdle recently. Crownbutte Wind Power, Inc. announced that the 20 MW wind project near Elgin has been fast-tracked through the current system planning and analysist phase of the interconnection queue to the final Definitive Planning Phase. This fast-track puts the wind project to the last stage of the process.

Elgin Hospital Ready To Occupy
The finishing work on the interior of the new hospital was completed the latter part of last week. Seven rooms beside the culinary department have been arranged and the operating equipment is the most complete that can be had. Just as soon as electrical appliances can be obtained an x-ray machine will be added and we will then have the most up-to-date institution of this kind in this part of the country. (This Article was taken from the Friday, April 9, 1915 edition of The Elgin Times.)
It’s amazing how far we have come along in the medical world since 1915 and it will be equally amazing to see where we go in the future. Elgin still has our hospital, Jacobson Memorial Hospital, we also have two clinics the Elgin Community Clinic and the Elgin Clinic. Elgin is also home to the Jacobson Memorial Care Center and Dakota Hill Housing, which is an assisted living center. However, our medical community doesn’t stop there we also have a dentist, optometrists, chiropractors, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and massage therapy.
