It&#8217;s a significant investment and it will create better service for businesses in Queens County and also some employment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He said the time is right with a large wind farm development being planned for Milton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Westin said Tuesday the business could eventually employ up to three people. But it will begin with one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They hope to have trial batches going through the plant in July, Westin said.
