(New Carlisle, IN) - Solar panels could be placed on 1,000 acres of farmland just north of U.S. 20 in New Carlisle, Indiana. 

Supporters said about 200 construction jobs would be created and about 27 million in taxes. Opponents said just three full-time employees would be needed to operate the solar farm and point to the loss of farmland.

The proposal still requires approval from local authorities.
