Community Benefits From The Project
Maroon Solar is committed to creating short-term and long-term wins that help develop Culpeper County, including millions of dollars in tax revenue and job creation, as well as affordable clean energy for residents.
Tax Revenue
The Maroon Solar project is estimated to generate $16.6 million in tax revenue.
Job Creation
This project will bring in contracting work for local companies, as well as long-term jobs for the community.
Affordable Power
This project is projected to generate enough electricity to power more than 15,000 homes with low-cost clean energy.
Land Restoration
The solar arrays will rest gently on former timber land, as efforts are made to restore 1,300 acres.
Zero Conflict
Maroon Solar will be built on soil not suitable for agriculture, avoiding wetlands, critical habitats, and historical resources.
Out of Sight
A planted pine tree buffer will surround all solar arrays, blending the project into the natural surroundings.
Community Partnerships
Maroon Solar has pledged to give back to the community, supporting non-profits and local organizations.
Fulfilling County Policy
Local landowners can create a steady income stream, plus generate substantial revenue for the county.
