New Energy Project

Construction is beginning on the Arche Solar project in western Fulton County. The project is expected to create about 200 jobs across the supply chain during construction and provide over $30 million dollars in revenue to several public entities over the life of the project, the company said in a statement this week. BP’s 50:50 joint-venture partner, global solar leader Lightsource bp, developed the project on behalf and is managing construction. McCarthy Building Companies’ Renewable Energy & Storage team was selected as the main contractor. The solar farm’s footprint will be approximately 675 acres within 1,000 acres of privately-owned land…primarily south of U.S. 20, between County Road 21 and County Road 23. There is also a portion north of U.S. 20 between County Road 22 and County Road 23.
