solar farms

The Ecology Action Center in Normal urges Bloomington-Normal residents to stay in the municipal electric aggregation program even with hefty rate increases coming this summer.

Statewide averages over each period were marginally higher than for the region. Overall land values were still up across the state last year, but the report showed some declines in the price of high-quality farmland in northeastern Illinois and the region around Decatur.

There are several reasons why the Town of Normal will pay for a study of how sturdy its three parking decks are. One of them is to see whether solar arrays can go on the roofs to see if the decks will bear the weight.

The money will help more than 60 Illinois farmers and businesses install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements.

State Farm and Rivian are both contracting with clean energy providers to reduce their carbon footprints. State Farm said it's buying enough zero emission renewable energy to power its buildings in Bloomington.
