Construction has officially kicked off on a new solar farm in Colton, NY, signaling fresh renewable energy momentum in the North Country.
A new solar farm in Colton, New York has moved from planning to reality, with construction now officially underway. The project marks another step forward for renewable energy development in St. Lawrence County, a region that has seen growing interest from clean energy developers in recent years.
Solar buildouts like this one are worth watching if you're tracking the broader push to electrify rural America.
