The 23.5 megawatt solar project will begin by March 2018 and the solar facility will be fully operational by the end of 2019. Not only will this cut down on the use of fossil fuels, but KDC Solar will use more than 99,000 hours of union labor to construct the project.

Children's Of Alabama Campus To See Expansion In Birmingham

Salt Lake City Aiming To Bid For 2030 Winter Olympics

Utah officials are studying the possibility of hosting another Winter Olympics. They say they would rather host 2030, but can be ready by 2026, if necessary. Denver, Colorado, and Reno, Nevada, have both expressed interest for the U.S.; and internationally, Sion, Switzerland; Calgary, Canada; and Sapporo, Japan have expressed interest. Salt Lake City's pitch is that they would be able to host the Winter Olympics for less money than other cities because of existing facilities. Some of the venues need revamping, but they wouldn't need to build anything new, but is still likely to cost between one-point-two and one-point-six-billion-dollars.

Foundation Plans To Build $100M Theodore Roosevelt Library In 2019

The foundation for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and construction is set to begin next year on the estimated $100 million facility in western North Dakota.

Savannah Moves Ahead With Plans For New 9,000-Seat Arena
