Community Impact
The Middlefork Solar Project will provide long-term economic advantages for the residents of Vermilion County, generating millions of dollars in tax revenue, which will benefit local schools and vital infrastructure.
Middlefork Solar is expected to bring:
Job Creation
Middlefork Solar will bring hundreds of jobs to the area, including locally sourced construction jobs and additional jobs for ongoing operations and maintenance after the project’s completion.
Community Investment
The project will bring a stable source of income to farmers and landowners through leased land payments, providing income that can be used to stabilize or expand existing farming operations, make purchases at local community shops and restaurants, pay bills, or buy new equipment for their farm.
Revitalized Ecosystems
Solar energy supports the local ecosystem with native vegetation and pollinator habitat, reducing runoff, and pumping nutrients back into the soil as it lies fallow.
Long-term Job Opportunities
Middlefork Solar creates multiple long-term jobs during the operations phase of the project.
Project End
At the end of the Middlefork Solar project life, facilities will be removed completely, and the land will be available for future agricultural use.
