Groundbreaking Ceremony – Solar Array Project 

Carroll Community College

October 12, 2016 – A groundbreaking ceremony for Carroll’s first Solar Array project will be held on Thursday, October 27th at 2 p.m. on the lawn by the Great Hall at Carroll Community College located at 1601 Washington Road, Westminster, MD 21157. 

The county will begin construction of its first Solar Array this fall and it will begin generating clean, green energy early next year. This is the first of three sites to house a solar array. In addition to the Carroll Community College, the county plans to use a portion of the properties at the Hampstead Wastewater Treatment plant and the Hoods Mill Landfill for the additional solar arrays.

“I believe this a great first step by the county to cut energy costs using solar power. We will save over half a million dollars a year of taxpayer money, and that's at today's rates,” said Commissioner Dennis Frazier. “Please join us for the groundbreaking ceremony.”
