The organization Minnesota Brownfields is hosting a session to explore the opportunities and challenges associated with developing solar energy on brownfield sites, much like the project that was completed in Hutchinson last month.
This session, intended for solar developers and redevelopment professionals, will explore:
- Solar energy trends in Minnesota and what it means for brownfields
- Legal considerations specific to developing solar energy on infill sites
- Incentives, policies, and programs available for brownfields and solar energy development
Speakers will also share information from real-world cases like the Rice Creek Commons in Arden Hills, Former Ford Plant Site in Saint Paul, and a 400 megawatt landfill-mounted solar PV system in Hutchinson.
