Unlocking Solar Potential
Harnessing clean energy to power communities while preserving the environment for our future generations.
Benefits
Black Moshannon Solar will bring long-term economic benefits to Rush Township and Centre County. The project is set to generate hundreds of jobs during construction, create new long term jobs once operational, increase local tax revenue, power up to 200,000 homes annually and provide essential funding for schools and public services.
Funding for Schools
The Black Moshannon Solar is more than just a renewable energy project; it is a pivotal investment in the future of our local education. Through substantial tax revenues generated by this project, the project will provide a reliable and substantial stream of funding to local schools and public services. This funding will help stabilize and improve educational facilities and programs, ensuring the youth has access to quality education right here in Centre County.
Strengthening Local Communities
Projected to have a multi-million dollar impact on the local economy, the Black Moshannon Solar will likely boost the financial health of Rush Township and surrounding areas significantly without imposing new taxes on residents. This additional revenue can support public infrastructure projects, enhance local services, and stimulate economic growth across the region.
Land Restoration
Black Moshannon Solar is carefully planned with a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship, particularly considering the site's historical challenges. We are dedicated to taking steps so that our project supports, rather than impedes, future land restoration initiatives. Through the transformation of this site, Black Moshannon Solar aims to serve as a catalyst for community development, creating new opportunities and fostering a sustainable future.
Community Commitment
Our team is working closely with numerous community members, groups, and organizations through each step of the process. We are actively collaborating with pivotal local institutions such as the Philipsburg-Osceola School District, the Elks Lodge, and the Moshannon Valley Economic Development Partnership. These partnerships are central to our strategy of embedding the solar project within the community, ensuring it serves as a pillar of local development.
Support American-Made Energy
Black Moshannon Solar will generate American-made, cost-effective clean energy that benefits residents and businesses. By harnessing sustainable energy, this initiative not only supports energy independence but also contributes to a robust, resilient energy infrastructure.
Your Water, Our Project
Black Moshannon Solar is dedicated to protecting and improving your water resources. We are partnering with local watershed groups to incorporate land and water practices that will help reduce current sources of pollution. Our project will not interfere with ongoing and future water quality improvement projects. We are committed, as new members to the community, to help the ecological health of the local watershed.
