New Haven is set to generate apporximately 250 construction jobs, in addition to partnering with local manufacturing and supply businesses. Once operational, the facility will not only provide long term employment opportunities but will also contribute to the creation of more jobs within the community by boosting the local economic landscape.
Utility-scale solar projects are temporary installations that preserve the underlying agricultural potential without causing long term changes to soil quality. The land remains primed for future farming when the solar structures are decommissioned. In the meantime, these solar projects offer landowners a steady, reliable source of income, bolstering their economic stability and and allowing them to continue farming their land.
Solar projects blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings, maintaining or enhancing existing water drainage systems to effectively manage water flow. Careful land management ensures minimal grading and soil compression, preserving and protecting topsoil.
