— Economic Impact
The Whitewater Solar Project will provide long-term economic advantages for the residents of Jefferson and Walworth Counties.
Whitewater Solar is expected to create significant tax revenue over the project lifetime into the local community—providing critical funding for local schools, libraries, fire and police services, roads, community services and more.
In addition to generating more tax revenue for the local community, Whitewater Solar will:
Bring hundreds of jobs to the area, including locally sourced construction jobs and additional jobs for ongoing operations and maintenance after the project’s completion.**
Provide a stable source of income to farmers and landowners through leased land payments – providing income that can be used to stabilize or expand existing farming operations, make purchases at local shops and restaurants, pay bills or buy new equipment.
Support the local ecosystem with native vegetation and pollinator habitat, reducing runoff, and pumping nutrients back into the soil as it lies fallow.
Create multiple long-term jobs during the operations phase of the project.
At the end of project life, facilities will be removed, and the land will be available for future agricultural use.
