Under clear, blue, sunny skies with a backdrop of giant wind turbines, Johnston’s newest solar array opened with fanfare last week.
“As you can see, this is a Mecca for renewable energy. We’ve got the wind turbines in the background, the solar panels, and there are several other projects,” said Mayor Joseph Polisena during the ceremony held to open the facility. “This is great for the town, and I’m glad to say that Johnston is probably one of the leaders that has what I call the Mecca of renewable energy, and you can see it right here.”
