SUPPORTING FAMILIES, FARMS, AND THE FUTURE

Brouilletts Creek Solar is more than an energy project. It’s a way to bring lasting investment into Vermillion County, supporting local families, strengthening our farms, and building a brighter future for our community. Here is what this project brings to Vermillion County:

Stronger Local Economy

• $270 million investment right here in Vermillion County
• $23 million in new property tax revenue over 30-year life of the project. (after accounting for an abatement)
• Proposed $5 million in economic development payment as county revenue. Flexible funds for local leaders to direct toward schools, roads, and community services

Direct Support for Neighbors

• $96,000 already given to local nonprofits through 61 community grants.
• A proposed $200,000 Community Fund for St. Bernice with $20,000 given each year for 30 years—an estimated $780,000 total for local projects
• $115.8 million in operation payments to landowners over the project’s lifetime
• More than $1.5 million in pre-construction landowner payments.

Good Jobs Close to Home

• 400 jobs created during the 12–18 month construction period
• White Construction selected to build the project

Since 2019, Brouilletts Creek Solar has focused on being a good neighbor, supporting the people and places that make Vermillion County strong. Whether it’s new funding for county services, opportunities for local nonprofits, or steady income for farm families, this project is built to make a difference close to home.
