GeorgetownTidbits

Did you know that the Buckthorn solar plant near Ft Stockton covers 1250 acres and uses 1.7 million solar panels to produce 24.3% of its name plate capacity of 150Mw? The 24.3% accounts for the fact that the sun does not shine 24hr/day at the plant location and other system losses. Thus the solar plant has the capacity to produce 36.5Mw of electricity, not the advertised 150Mw!

Georgetown ISD has $45,542,502 in their reserve account! With student enrollment growing at only 2.05% annually, do they really need a $160,000,000 bond right now?

Rumor has it that the City is going to install 3 new stop lights on the western part of Williams Drive to accommodate the increased traffic caused by the three new apartment complexes that they approved last year.
