Solar projects represent an excellent community development opportunity for rural areas. When thinking about the qualities that make locations suitable for potential solar development, we look for locations with good solar resources, large amounts of available land, and landowners and communities who are interested in being partners during the lifespan of the projects.
We as a company believe in building strong partnerships and supporting the communities we serve. We invest our time and dollars into local communities and engage stakeholders to reach common goals. We appreciate the support we have received from both the parish and the community so far and look forward to building a lasting mutual relationship.
