The project is located in Marysville, central Ohio, and it is comprised of 760,000 solar panels spread over 22 square miles.
The project began operations in 2024. It generated more than 370 jobs during peak construction, with more than 80% of the labor being local to the State of Ohio, and it will maintain up to 20 permanent jobs during operations.
