They examined the proposals of multiple vendors over a period of 18 months, and Northern's creativity in finding a solution that met our economic and environmental objectives, as well as their track record of designing and installing successful renewable power projects, were determining factors in the contract award." Blaisdell added, "The system's alignment with Timberland's core values makes it the natural next step in our exciting evolution."
