The developers of a solar energy project proposed for the Railroad Township area will be meeting with local residents tomorrow. An informational meeting on the Dunns Bridge Solar Project will be held tomorrow evening, starting at 6:00 CDT at All Saints Catholic Church in San Pierre.
“It’s not necessarily for the landowners that are involved in the project,” Starke County Economic Development Foundation Executive Director Lisa Dan recently told the county commissioners. It’s for community members to come and ask questions and make sure that their voices are heard and that sort of thing.”
Dan said the developer chose the area due to the upcoming shutdown of the coal-fired power plant in Wheatfield.
The Dunns Bridge Solar Project is being developed by NextEra Energy Resources. The company is also behind the Moss Creek solar development that recently got zoning approval in Pulaski County. Meanwhile, the Starke County potion of the Mammoth Solar project is scheduled to break ground in the Bass Lake area Thursday.
