DENVER (AP) — Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter says wind turbine manufacturer Vestas will add 1,000 jobs in the state.

Ritter scheduled a news conference for Friday to give the details.

Denmark-based Vestas Wind Systems currently employs about 200 people at a plant in Windsor, 50 miles north of Denver, producing wind turbine blades. The operation is expected to have 650 workers when it reaches full production.
