The city of Osawatomie, in conjunction with Evergy, is getting ready to break ground on a large solar array that could possibly lower energy costs to city customers. Not only that, but it has also caught the attention of some major companies looking to possible locate in Kansas. Osawatomie City Consultant Mike Scanlon, explains that those companies are looking to use reusable energy sources and the solar array may just fit what they need:
The groundbreaking for the new solar array will be held October 12th. It’s situated in the northland, which Scanlon says has also attracted the eye of housing developers as the city is connecting the sewer system and the water system to the area soon.
