Councilmember Stone reported that at the Planning Commission meeting the previous night, the commission recommended the school proceed with a 200-by-300-foot solar-panel installation funded with state grant money.
Stone said project proponents hope the array will reduce the school’s energy expenses and benefit taxpayers. According to the council comment, construction is expected to begin this summer with the system ready for the next school year. The statement was an informational update from a councilmember; no formal city action or funding commitment by the council was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The report indicates the project is grant-funded at the state level; the council’s comment did not specify the grant program name, the grant amount, or additional permitting steps that may be required.
