TURBOTVILLE, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY- A massive, brand-new solar farm is under construction in one part of Northumberland County.

It's at the Susquehanna Trail Associates office complex in Turbotville.

Nearly 900 solar panels are being installed on more than 40,000 square feet of land behind the complex.

It'll cost about $1.4 million.

When it's complete, the solar farm will provide power to four businesses located on the property.

Bob Yoder, of Yoder Builders Inc., noted, "We've been in innovation and energy efficiency for the last 20 years on the buildings that we build, so this is just the next generation."

Developers say the solar farm will pay for itself with lower energy costs over time.

Officials expect to see much more solar energy use in our area in the future.
