So, you may not think that we have the ideal weather here in Northwest Indiana to accomodate a Solar electricity farm. But! You would be wrong!

Sure details are very scarce at the moment but report say that an Evansville businessman wants to build a $75 million 137,000-panel solar farm in Schneider with construction which could start in as soon as 90 days time.

The facility will likely go hand in hand with the proposed  trash-to-ethanol site in the Lake County community.

The proposed farm could also become one of the largest of its kind in the country. The farm would reportedly generate up to 100 megawatts of power.

But there are concerns about the level of sunshine the region gets. However it would be a great coup for the green movement in Northwest Indiana. As we have said before there is a strong drive to become more energy efficient in Northwest Indiana - in particular in the real estate field.

With details still very scarce stay tuned to our blog to keep up to date on this Northwest Indiana project!

America is a great nation and despite what the press might sometimes have you believe is always at the forefront of embracing new, green technology.

Right now there are 30,000 wind turbines spinning across our vast country and the economic effect of this blooming industry is being felt.

Wind turbines contain around 8,000 parts and they are often manufactured in the US (in fact, about half the components used in wind farms are made in the U.S., compared with 25 percent in 2004) – in particular here in the midwest. Which is poised with the right manufacturer mix to be able to feed the supply chain with parts.

In Indiana, potential component manufacturers could create 25,180 new jobs out of the total $62.2 billion in investment. It is also estimated that 398,000 jobs could be created from the 185,000 megawatts of wind generation that should be installed in upcoming years. Indiana is among the top 10 states for investment and job-creation potential with the state ranking sixth in the number of employees – 53,064 of them – working at firms that have the technical potential to become active manufacturers of wind turbine components.

Even more local, here in Northwest Indiana, LaPorte County is listed among the top 20 counties in Indiana supplying component parts.

This is an excited time for Northwest Indiana!

Yes we have said before, but it is being shown to be more and more true that Northwest Indiana’s economy is robust and that the area makes an excellent relocation destination.

Even in terms of comparing the region to the rest of the state – NWI is faring great!

Elkhart, Howard and Kokomo counties all need double digit rises in their economy to get it back on track, whereas Lake and Porter Counties only needing around 4%. Meaning that a small change will cause the region to be properly out of recession. Right now the recovery is very much underway with higher employment, lowever unemployment, more home sales and more and more industry moving to the region to take advantage of its fanstatic proximity Chicago.

Pending home sales have risen for three consecutive months nationally with double digit rises compared to 2009. Also, Job wise Indiana added 22,700 jobs in April, the largest over-the-month increase in employment since February 1999 according to the Building Indiana blog. The region of course also has its own development district championing growth in the area!
