The speaker at the March 27 Rotary Club of Kirksville meeting was Ivan Huhtala, senior construction manager working with the Morris Solar Farm project in the Kirksville area. Huhtala said construction of the 250 MW Morris Solar Project began in the Fall of 2023 and is projected to end in the Spring of 2025, when operations will begin. The project, which will connect to the Zachary 345 kV Substation, is located in Adair County south of Kirksville and east of State Highway 3. It was anticipated that the project will cover approximately 1,100 acres. The speaker is pictured with Rotarian Matt Eichor (right) who introduced him.
