Effort Solar is a proposed solar renewable energy project in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Effort Solar offers a new source of economic development for the community, with new sources of revenue for schools and government services. The project will generate economic opportunities by creating both short-term (construction) and long-term (maintenance and operational) jobs in the local area, as well as other job opportunities supported through spending and purchases by these workers at local businesses, shops, restaurants, and hotels. In addition, solar power is one of the most cost-effective sources of electricity today, and its ability to generate power during high-demand times reduces the cost of electricity for all consumers.
