Detroit is taking a bold step forward in its commitment to sustainability and neighborhood revitalization. Under the leadership of Mayor Mike Duggan, the city is expanding its Solar Neighborhoods initiative in partnership with Lightstar Renewables. Phase 2 of the project will transform 61 acres of long-vacant land in the Houston-Whittier/Hayes and Greenfield Park neighborhoods into active solar fields.

Detroit is setting the standard for urban revitalization and sustainable development. Spearheaded by Mayor Mike Duggan's visionary leadership, the City of Detroit has taken another significant step towards combating climate change and empowering its neighborhoods. Lightstar Renewables is proud to collaborate with the City of Detroit on the Phase 2 Solar Neighborhoods initiative, turning long-vacant land into state-of-the-art solar fields and delivering exceptional benefits to the community.

Lightstar Renewables announces the launch of a dedicated web page for the Tuytenbridge Road Community Solar Project in the Town of Ulster, NY. Designed to foster transparency and community engagement, this resource provides answers to frequently asked questions, refutes project misconceptions, and highlights the environmental and economic benefits of this transformative project.

Lightstar, one of the nation’s leading solar developers, has been selected for the highly anticipated Phase 2 projects to advance clean energy solutions in Detroit. Phase 1 of this endeavor will bring 63 acres of solar fields to the Gratiot/Findlay and State Fair neighborhoods, while Phase 2 will see the addition of 19 acres in the Houston-Witter/Hayes community. Together, these projects represent a significant step forward in sustainable energy innovation and environmental stewardship.
