Jasper County? Oh man, here I was looking at that as another possible retirement location. Wonder how much of the county that solar farm affects?
“possible retirement location”
These days, you have to look very carefully at what might happen to the land during your retirement. The town and surrounding countryside around Colfax, WA is covered in “No Wind Farms” signs. The wind farms are covering the gorgeous and productive agricultural land of the Palouse region in eastern Washington and they are headed toward Colfax. The people have seen these horrendous blights on the landscape, seen the flickering shadows, and heard the thrump-thrump-thrump infrasound from the blades. They don’t want it.
1/3 of 1200 acres. Do the math.
That area is just a couple of miles east of Indiana 49 and on the south side of the Kankakee River. About a 30 minute drive from where I live in Jasper Co., Ind.
