WATERTOWN â The Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency has landed what could be the biggest economic development project in its history with construction of a solar panel manufacturing plant at a proposed business park near Watertown International Airport.
The JCIDA will announce Tuesday morning that Convalt Energy, a New York City-based renewable energy company, plans to build a solar panel manufacturing facility in the agencyâs proposed business park on Route 12F in the town of Hounsfield.
The Convalt facility would initially create about 165 jobs in the first year, then grow to 525 in five years, said David J. Zembiec, chief executive officer of Jefferson County Economic Development, the JCIDAâs sister organization.
Burnside Mayor Robert Lawson
Burnside Mayor Robert Lawson has been elected to chair the Lake Cumberland Area Development District (ADD) Board of Directors for 2021.
Lawson has served on the board since he first took office in 2017, since all judge-executives and mayors from the district s 10 counties Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor and Wayne are automatically named in addition to 20 citizens that also serve from those counties. It s an honor and a way to serve our 10-county region, Mayor Lawson said of chairing the board. The ADD office does so much for cities and counties helping to find grants and assisting us with the infrastructure needs we have. They play a huge role.
