MONTANDON – The Standard Journal is reporting… A long-awaited solar farm project is finally seeing progress along Route 45 between Danville and Montandon, with construction and installation underway on the 700-acre site.

First proposed in 2019 by Dakota Power Partners, the project changed hands multiple times before Energix, an Israel-based company, took over and pushed development forward.

The Standard Journal quotes township officials saying there is no cost to taxpayers, and strict guidelines are in place to regulate setbacks, soil use, and land restoration after the project’s lifespan. While some residents remain concerned about aesthetics and environmental impact, officials say the project is moving ahead as planned.
