(JUST THE NEWS) – An energy company is building West Virginia’s largest solar farm on land previously the location of one of the state’s largest coal mines, the company announced.
SEVA West Virginia will develop 3,000 acres of the former Hobet mining site in Boone and Lincoln Counties into a solar farm. The counties are in southern West Virginia. The company is partnering with the counties’ economic authorities and the state on this project.
“I am inspired by the blank canvas presented in Boone and Lincoln counties,” SEVA President Devanna Corley said in a statement. “There is a real opportunity to bring new business, grow population, develop tourism, and teach our children about the importance of renewable energy.”
