Construction of a large solar farm is under way at the Eastern Piscataquis Industrial Park in Milo. When it’s completed, the site will feature 67,000 solar panels on land located just north of downtown off Route 11. Peter Hamlin, chair of the Milo Select Board, said the town will benefit through lease payments it receives for use of the land and a percentage of the money earned by the sale of electricity. A $26 million investment is planned in the Milo solar farm, which is expected to produce 20 megawatts of alternating current to be sold to consumers.
