Apex unveils the preliminary layout for the Coldwater Solar project set for construction in Ovid and Coldwater township. It would produce 150 megawatts of power
The 90 minute Zoom meeting is scheduled to start that evening at 6:00 p.m..
Backers claim the $150 million Coldwater Solar project will result in up to 150 megawatts of clean energy which they say would be enough to power about 27,000 homes.
They also say Coldwater Solar would generate up to $21 million in new tax revenue for the two townships as well as for county services and local school districts. In addition, it’s being claimed the project would create hundreds of new clean energy jobs during construction and several permanent positions for facility operations.
Some Ovid Township residents are opposed to the large solar project. Among their concerns are potential impacts on agricultural land and property values.
