FREEBURG — Amid a bid to obtain financial assurances that a 113-acre solar farm will not damage Freeburg’s water treatment plant, officials invited state and federal representatives for a tour of the site Thursday.
State Sen. Lynda Schlegel Culver and Rep. David Rowe, along with Ann Kaufman, deputy district director for U.S. Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson, and Elliot Copland, a representative for U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, visited the plant and viewed the nearby proposed solar field site. Accompanying them were Freeburg Council President Catherine Dent, council Vice President Tabbetha VanHorn Price, borough engineer Josh Owens and council member and municipal authority President Tom Gingrich.
