Powell’s solar panel project reworked
Instead of solar panels on Powell’s municipal building, officials are considering a solar panel carport, picnic shelter or both. The former project was nixed due to structural engineering issues. Development Planner Eric Fischer, who originally had the vision for solar panels on Powell’s municipal building at 47 Hall St., said that using the technology can still be a reality, but approvals are required from the state’s Department of Development (ODOD).
