• Peoria County village first in state to build solar farm on public school property (25newsnow.com) — Brimfield residents can now benefit from the new Jubilee Solar Project next to Brimfield High School, which is cutting the school district’s energy costs and offering bill savings to local Ameren customers. The nine-acre solar farm, already fully subscribed by more than 200 locals, brings utility savings, new tax revenue, and lease income to the Brimfield school district while supporting Illinois’ power grid.
