The project is expected to provide $37.4 million in new revenue to the county, town and school district to reduce the local tax burden or invest in infrastructure, additional services and resources for residents.
With a $40.8 million construction labor budget, Excelsior Energy Project is expected to create 290 jobs during construction, three to four full-time positions, and opportunities for landscaping and snow plowing throughout the life of the project.
Through land agreements, Excelsior Energy Project will support the agricultural economy by infusing revenue into local farms and diversifying their income.
The Excelsior Energy Project is proposed by a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, an experienced community partner and the world’s largest generator of wind and solar energy, with generating facilities across the United States and in Canada.
