This episode features the second of a two-part conversation with EDF Renewables development manager Jack Honor who is leading the Homer Solar project in the Towns of Homer, Cortlandville, and Solon in Cortland County. Jack talks about EDF Renewable’s partnerships with farmers, the many engineering and environmental studies that are conducted prior to constructing a solar project, EDF’s commitment to Agrivoltics – which involves the hiring of local farmers to bring in sheep to perform vegetation maintenance at project sites, and the 150 construction jobs and considerable financial benefits that the Homer Solar project will bring to Cortland County residents and businesses.
