Much of the farmland along LA-741 in Port Barre will soon be transformed into solar farms, benefitting both the parish and those who live in it.
Bill Rodier, CEO of St. Landry Economic Development, said, “The new project that’s just been approved this month is ultimately called “St. Landry solar” it’s actually a subdivision of NextEra energy. That’s a 1,600-acre facility that’s located on the eastern side of St. Landry Parish.”
