The McCleary City Council is expected to vote on a $2.7 million solar energy project at its next meeting. During last week’s council meeting, some members asked for more time to familiarize themselves with solar power generation, in order to make a better-informed decision. The project would be funded by a federal grant; however city leaders will be voting on spending roughly $50,000 of local money for an investment audit, which is part of the process for the department of commerce grant money. The next city council meeting is on September 11th.
