Border Basin Solar will hold a second public meeting on its proposed solar generating facility tonight from 5 to 7 at the Arcadia Lions Community Center. Those visiting can watch a prerecorded presentation on the planned operation and ask specific questions of representatives of Border Basin.

If approved, the planned solar electric generation plant would cover over 13-hundred acres between Arcadia and Findlay, north of State Route 12, south of County Road 109, between County Roads 236. In constructed plans call for a generation capacity of 120 megawatts, roughly enough to power 19-thousand homes. Construction could begin next year with power generation at the facility to start late in 2023.

The project is a joint development effort between Boston-based Galehead Development and Tyr Energy with headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas.
