The alternative energy company First Wind, which builds utility-scale wind farms, is moving from Newton to Boston.
The company has just over 70 employees working in its new offices on Lincoln Street and expects to grow, said chief executive Paul Gaynor.
“We have room to expand, probably by another 30 to 50 people,’’ he said.
First Wind’s Boston location is just a few blocks from South Station, Gaynor added, meaning that employees will be able to get to work using public transportation - a big draw for a green company.
Gaynor said he also is hoping to take advantage of Boston’s “diverse and deep pool of folks that can help us grow our company.’’ First Wind currently operates five wind projects around the country, is building one other, and has about a dozen more in the planning stages.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino is scheduled to tour the company’s new offices today.
