Trajectory Energy Partners Hosts Open House for Meadow Solar at Dixon Park District Facility

Solar farms in and near communities in the Sauk Valley seem to be the new trend lately. For over a year, the Dixon Park District has worked with Trajectory Energy Partners to construct the Meadows Solar Farm. This is a community solar farm on 24-acres of farmland at the meadows.

Earlier this year, Trajectory held an open house for area residents of the solar farm to show what the farm would be like. Wednesday night, they held an open house at the District Facility building to give people information about how the solar project could benefit them.

John Carson, Managing Partner with Trajectory said after they get state approval in March or April, they would then have an open house to sign people up for the project. Carson further said while anyone can sign up, they would start with Dixon residents and then move out to other parts of the county.

Carson said they have gotten good support from the community and the county government for the project. He contributes this to being in the community and answering questions. He also pointed out the land being rented from the district will not interfere with walking trails or recreational areas since the land is currently being leased for farming.
