Solar Panels Now Up

Solar panels on four municipal buildings in Fort Frances have now been installed.

They're located on the roofs of the Memorial Sports Centre, water treatment plant, Public Works garage, and day care centre.

It's expected they'll be connected to the grid as early as next week.

A 20-year deal to sell the power back will see the town earn about $12-thousand annually over the next decade and $49-thousand in each of the final ten years.
