A solar farm east of Hayward that would produce enough power to serve about 97,000 homes could be operational by 2023. Consultants and representatives from the companies proposing the plan shared details and timelines with the Freeborn County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday. The farm would be located just east of Hayward and south of Interstate 90, between County highways 102 and 30. The board will further review the proposal at the next regular meeting on March 2.
