CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Clarksville’s Finance and Budget Committee discussed Monday plans to sell a portion of land at Exit 8 to solar energy provider Silicon Ranch for a 15-megawatt facility.
City Mayor Joe Pitts and CDE Lightband General Manager Brian Taylor said the plan would give the Nashville-based Silicon Ranch a three-year option to purchase 140.2 acres from the city for #3,360,000 for the construction of a 15-megawatt solar farm which would sell electricity to CDE at half the price of TVA.
