Despite some public pushback, permitting issues and a set of county regulations that its attorney says are too strict, a Florida-based company says it hopes to have its 3,000-acre solar project in Douglas and Johnson counties up and running by 2026. That was the message at an informational meeting Tuesday night hosted by Florida-based NextEra Energy Resources, the company behind the proposed West Gardner Solar project. The project, which would take up 1,000 acres of southeastern Douglas County and part of southwestern Johnson County, has been years in the making, but Tuesday was the first time that NextEra officials had hosted a public meeting and shared specifics about their expected timeline.
