Last week, officials in Edwards County held a public hearing on a proposed solar farm project in the West Salem area. This morning, County Commissioners approved the project to move forward.
The Edwards County Commissioners have approved the permits for Solar Stone Partners to operate a solar farm in the West Salem, Illinois area. The solar farm will be on leased ground that is owned by Bob Krajec, just to the west of the Village of West Salem.
Solar Stone Partners has completed solar farm projects in Sandoval as well Rockford in Illinois and has construction projects in Cedarville, Trenton, Freeport, and Trinity.
This is a developing story and more information will be coming out on this over the next few days.
