PETERSBURG, Indiana – Jessica Adams has been hired as the Ratts 1 Solar Project local representative. Adams is an eleven-year resident of Pike County, Indiana, where she resides with her husband and their four children.

As local representative, Adams will be available to talk with landowners and community members about the Ratts 1 Solar Project throughout the different phases of development and construction.
“My family understands the importance of diversifying farmland. We are looking forward to the positive changes the local solar project will bring to not only farmland, but also the community in which we live,” said Jessica Adams. “I’m excited about my position with the project and my role in educating the community on the benefits this project will bring to Pike County for years to come.”
