What would a 50 kw (or comparable) Wind Turbine cost?

I have gotten a lot of good information on smaller systems, but I think I am in need of something just a bit larger. I realize that costs for copper, steel, etc. are constantly changing. But if someone could give me a ballpark answer that would be great.
Many smaller systems quote prices right on their site, but it doesn’t seem to be the case with the mid size models.

Kittery approves plan for 50-kW wind turbine
WCSH News in Portland and the Portsmouth Herald have reported that on Monday night the Kittery town council unanimously approved a plan to build a 50-kW wind turbine at the town’s solid waste transfer station. When completed, the turbine will be 124 feet tall, and will produce an average of roughly 80,000 to 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, saving the town approximately $10,000 annually on its electric bill. The generated electricity will be used to power the transfer station facilities, and the nearby Shapleigh Middle School. The turbine is expected to cost approximately $185,000, and will be partially funded by a Public Utilities Commission grant.
