GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY TUESDAY MAY 21ST
Mayor Don Malan put the shovel (Tuesday) in the ground in the
groundbreaking ceremony for Butler’s coming Solar Farm.The Solar plant…to be one of the largest in Missouri…will be west of Enterprise Road in Butler’s Industrial Park. And it will be impressive from the start, covering 12 ½ acres with solar panels.
Loren Williamson, Senior Vice-president of Project Development for MC
Power Companies, opened the activity with a welcome to the sizable
group, which included the Butler City Council along with the mayor and
other city personnel. Williamson said this plant, which will get its
power from the sun, will provide its power to Butler, represents 41
hundred horsepower and will be comprised of 12-thousand, eight hundred, ninety-two solar panels. It will have 30 miles of wiring and the area will be fenced.
Mayor Malan followed Williamson in welcoming those present and said he was excited over the project. He put the ceremonial shovel in the ground at 11:22, and said the spade will have a place in City Hall. Another MC Power official, noting that Butler is the “Electric City,” having been the first west of the Mississippi with its own power plant, said, “The sun always shines on Butler.”
Work is expected to be actually started on the Solar Farm within the
next two to four weeks.
