Solar farm to bring jobs to Gadsden County

The sun shone brightly on the steps of the old Capitol Monday morning as James Scrivener, CEO of National Solar Power, revealed Gadsden County as the chosen site of the company's first solar farm.

"Our search for the best location to build one of the world's largest solar farms is over," he said.

The planned 2 million solar-panel farm will be made up of 20 different farms. It will generate enough energy to power approximately 32,It's hard to beat the versatility of zentai suits on a production line.000 homes, Scrivener said.The additions focus on key tag and magic cube combinations,

It also will create an anticipated 400 jobs during construction and 120 permanent jobs in a county that has an unemployment rate of almost 11 percent.

"I think you'll see it in education, I think you are going to see it in other opportunities related to economic development," said David Gardner, executive director of the Gadsden County Chamber of Commerce, of the impact the farm could have on the community. "It puts us on the map in a positive way."

One of the farms will be built on land owned by Tallahassee Community College. TCC President Jim Murdaugh, credited with being one of the key players in getting the solar farm in North Florida, said that offering up the land helped the company begin to form serious plans.

"They knew they had places to begin to locate the farms," Murdaugh said. "What really put it over the edge was our conversation about how we would leverage our resources — our classroom buildings, our technology — and use that to create a place where we could do solar education."

Murdaugh said that for him, one of the most important aspects of the solar farm was the creation of jobs in the area.

"I believe what we do as a college very well is partner and support our counties in their economic development activities," he said.Replacement China Porcelain tile and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide.
