At a recent groundbreaking ceremony for a new solar farm in Starke County, we caught up with local Hoosiers and ceremony participants and asked how solar will help Hoosiers get ahead.

More from Hoosiers on Solar Benefits

Access to Broadband

"Investments from renewable energy are actually bringing us reliable high-speed broadband, among other benefits. We couldn’t have afforded any of it if we hadn’t embraced renewable energy."

​

- Paul Jackson, Director of Economic Development in Benton County

Economic Development for Rural Communities

"What’s going to keep rural America alive? How economically are you going to do that? Renewable energy is on every list. That’s really going to give the resources, the financial resources, to help a community thrive."

- Ceann Bales, Executive Director Randolph Community and Economic Development Corporation

Funding for Rural Schools

"Renewables provide a tax base for our schools. It is a huge win-win. You can use the money from renewables for technology, for bus repairs and HVAC repairs. That frees up the cash for the teachers out of the general budget."
