Acciona, one of the companies looking to construct a solar farm in the northern portion of Union County, has announced it will be the Richwood Independent Fair’s first-ever corporate sponsor. As part of the agreement, Acciona will contribute $20,000 a year for three years. The money will be used to make capital improvements to the fairgrounds. The company will also have the ability to set up a display on the grounds so they can educate the community on solar energy solutions during fair week. Above, Steve Goodwin, working with Acciona, presents a check to Cody Johnston, president of the Richwood Independent Fair Board.
