Claymont will soon start reaping the benefits of the solar field beside the high school.
T-M-I Energy Solutions president Jeff Borton gave an update during the last board of education meeting. He says the system itself is built and ready to go online, but the investor now wants to wait until 2025.
The only aspect of the project still to complete is what Borton calls “the landscape package.” That includes the planting of 42 native Ohio pollinator species within the fence that will grow to between six and 20-inches high.
Workers will also plant a row of 42 arborvitae along the Indian Hill road side of the array come spring.
The project is expected to save the Claymont school district at least 43-thousand-dollars the first year.
