Welcome to THE NEWBERG ENERGY project WEBSITE. WE HOPE YOU FIND THE SITE BOTH HELPFUL AND INFORMATIONAL.
The Newberg Energy Project is a solar farm proposed by Orion Renewable Energy Group. The project will have an immediate significant positive economic impact on Newberg Township and Cass County.
SUMMARY
Property Taxes
Orion Renewable Energy Group’s solar project will bring approximately $215 million in private investment to the township and Cass County.
In the first year of operations alone, Newberg Energy Project will pay over $3 million in property taxes.
This exciting project will contribute more than $24 million in property taxes during the first 25 years of operation.
Construction
During construction, the Newberg Energy project will create over 200 construction jobs lasting between 9-12 months.
During operation, the project will create several new full-time, well-paying local jobs for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the solar farm.
Economic Benefits
These long-term revenues will help support Newberg’s quality of life and public services.
Indirect economic benefits in the form of local jobs and materials purchased from local vendors will result in significant additional income throughout Cass County.
