Central Middle School solar project awaiting state permits; staff say completion likely after school year starts
Summary
City staff said the Central Middle School solar installation is on hold pending state permitting, which may take several weeks; staff expect installation to proceed in August with completion likely in October if permits and contractor schedules align.
City utility staff told the Water Light Commission that the Central Middle School solar project is delayed while the project team waits for a state permit.
A staff speaker noted, “I still need to get the documents completed for the school and MMPA for Keith,” and later a staff update said state permits could take a few weeks, making an on-site start uncertain in the immediate weeks ahead. Another staff member said, “I would think if they get going in August, they'd get it done by October.”
Staff did not set a final completion date during the meeting and said they are monitoring the permitting timeline. The commission did not act formally on the project at this session; staff said they are prepared to proceed once permits and contracts are finalized.
The next key dates mentioned were state permit processing (timing not specified) and monitoring contractor schedules; staff said they would report back as permits and work progress.
