KENDALLVILLE â With some help from other city boards providing $1 million in tax dollars, Kendallville City Council members are more comfortable with borrowing the remainder to fund a new solar field on the site of the former McCray Refrigerator factory.
The city is now looking at a five-year financing plan that shouldnât impact local taxes or wastewater fees, meaning residents wonât need to provide anything extra to afford the green energy development.
City council members received an update about possible financing options for the project during their meeting Tuesday evening.
The proposed solar field would take up most of the 11-acre McCray site off Wayne Street, one block west of Main Street, stretching from the west end of the property all the way to Mill Street.
