(WAND) - Residents heard more about a proposed solar project in rural Macon County just west of Dalton City Tuesday night.
Solar energy company Leeward Renewable Energy will lead the project.
According to the company's timeline, construction is expected to begin in 2028. If approved, the solar farm will be operational by 2030.
Leeward stated that the project will generate about $30 million over its lifetime.
Leeward Public Affairs Manager Kristen Rosenberger said that money can be used to benefit local communities.
"That can really benefit the schools, the fire department, infrastructure here, whatever the county and township feel like they have those needs, that money is available to them," Rosenberger said.
Rosenberger added that the project's lifetime is estimated to be around 30 years.
