Part of the Old Landfill to Become a Solar Farm

McLean County Landfill may soon find new life--at least part of it. A 52-acre swath of that facility is on track to become a solar farm after the McLean County Board unanimously voted in favor of it this week. To date, the county has approved 14 solar farm applications, but some are not likely to be constructed since they also require state approval. The state is not going to choose which solar farms will get the green light until early next year.
