Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas is proposing legislation that could bring a solar energy farm near the Kansas City International airport. It’s a concept the city has been working on since 2021 and conducting a feasibility study in 2022. According to Mayor Lucas, the long term goal is to reduce utility costs and power a third of Kansas City homes with green energy.
“We recognize that both gas and electric have seen ongoing cost increases over time. We believe that if we can provide this level of energy, we can fuel up to a third of the houses in Kansas City,” said Lucas
