Bemidji Pioneer: Leech Lake unveils new solar panel arrays to benefit low income communities

CASS LAKE—The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe celebrated a big step forward Monday in its push for sustainability.

At a ceremony, fittingly under sunny skies, Leech Lake officials and representatives from the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance unveiled a new solar array at the Prescott Community Center. The walls of solar panels at the community center are one of five spread throughout the reservation, with others at the Palace Casino, Leech Lake Tribal College, the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance office in Pine River and a fifth in Jackson Village.
