Sussex County Council approved a solar farm proposal by RWE Clean Energy and awarded a contract for the remaining half of the Delaware Coastal Airport’s Taxiway B project. The contract, valued at around $5.5 million, was awarded to Richard E. Pearson Construction Company. The project benefits from an FAA grant that covers 95% of the total cost, allowing construction to begin in 2028 after deconstruction starts in 2027.
