 It was a big day for Red Lake as they kicked off phase one of their big solar energy project. The idea to switch the reservation to solar energy first came two years ago. The project is expected to bring dozens of jobs to the area and boost the Red Lake economy. Phase one involved moving solar panels to the roof of the government building. Phase two and three are expected to start in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we get to the point where we start providing about putting solar panels on individual houses and that if we can. So I mean it's going to open a lot of windows of opportunity. But I think what's most noteworthy is it's about diversification of our economy as a tribe and expanding out into other areas of the economy. We want to create another source of revenue for the tribe. We will have more details on the Red Lake solar project in our community spotlight segment next Monday right here on Lakeland News.
