wandtv.com · last updated

Decatur, Ill (WAND) – A commercial-scale solar energy facility will likely be constructed in Decatur this year.

The project is being developed by a Texas company according to the city of Decatur. It will be on two-parcels of land located at West Mound Road and North Westlawn Avenue which is located Northwest of the Macon County Fairgrounds.

The solar panels will be installed across the entire 27.5 acres of land. The property was most recently used as farmland.

A development agreement is designed to protect the city of Decatur. Numerous provisions detail how and when decommissioning of the facility will take place. When the project is no longer in use the developer will have to remove all solar facilities. The site will also have to be restored.
