A project in the works for the New Carlisle area would build a massive solar energy farm while also setting up a new special taxing district that could be used to funnel money toward tax incentives for the company and St. Joseph County’s development efforts in the “Indiana Enterprise Center” industrial zone.
County officials are working with renewable energy company RES to build the farm, nicknamed “Project Honeysuckle,” on up to 1,900 acres of farmland bounded roughly by U.S. 20 and Spruce, Tamarack and Darden roads.
The company this week confirmed the plan, which was also presented to members of the St. Joseph County Council, Redevelopment Commission and Board of Commissioners during a closed-door meeting in April, according to a slideshow presentation obtained by The Tribune.
