By The Randolph Solar Development Team

Increased tax revenue, hundreds of jobs and increased revenue to landowners – solar projects provide many direct and indirect economic benefits in a community. Here are just some benefits Randolph Solar, if approved, brings to the local community in Charlotte County:

  • Increased local income during construction includes tens of millions spent on labor and materials.
  • Indirect economic benefits during construction include workers spending money locally at restaurants, shops, conveniences stores, gas stations, etc. This could cumulatively number in the millions of dollars.
  • Increased local opportunities for income during project operations including landscaping maintenance on the project site.
  • Solar provides significant new revenue to local landowners. With the uncertainty of farming, solar projects allow for many landowners to retain ownership of their land.
  • Increases local tax revenues to significantly more than one million annually from approximately $150 thousand per year, currently – expected to be an increase of more than $50 million over thirty-five years. County revenues are consistent or increasing throughout the life of the project.
  • No additional costs to Charlotte County. Randolph Solar will not require any additional services while producing increased revenue for the county.
  • Solar projects are attractive to many companies looking to invest in a community such as data centers, bringing additional new jobs and revenue to the county.
