On Wednesday at Lincoln Land Community College in Taylorville residents gathered to hear about how solar is coming to town.

Scott Allen with Citizens Utility Board says the idea of the program was to spread the knowledge of solar and prepare Taylorville residents for what is coming.

Allen says that individual residents can get involved with solar on their own home as well.

Allen says the reception at the event was excellent and plenty of people had questions and wanted to know more.

Taylorville residents should be seeing areas adjusting to the potential incoming of solar panels around town.
