ACIDA Releases 2025 Solar Project Fact Sheet: $137M Invested in Allegany County

The Allegany County Industrial Development Agency (ACIDA) is proud to share the impact of 14 solar-energy projects completed across the county as of November 2025. A recent analysis highlights how these projects are generating significant economic returns while utilizing less than 0.4% of the county's farmland.
Key Highlights:

• Capital Investment: Over $137 million injected into the local economy.
• Clean Power: 62.9 MW capacity, generating enough power for an estimated 8,000–10,000 homes annually.
• Stabilized Tax Base: Annual PILOT payments have increased revenue by 364% compared to pre-solar tax receipts.

Executive Director Craig Clark noted, "This portfolio proves we, at the ACIDA, facilitate the delivery of clean energy and significant municipal revenue while supporting our region's agricultural landowners."
