The Iowa Utilities Board will be hosting a meeting at Marr Park at 6:00 pm Monday, September 26th, to discuss a possible solar project to the east of Washington. Washington Community Schools Superintendent Willie Stone says that if this project were to be approved, it could generate a significant tax revenue increase for the school district.

“I talked with the board about this upcoming solar project that they are looking to add east of town, to let them know that over its 40-year lifespan, it could bring in a projected tax revenue of over $1.2 million, which comes out to a little bit over which comes out to a little of $31,000 per year.”
