The document is a Milestone Worksheet (Gantt Chart) for the Verona Solar project by Dane County's Department of Waste & Renewables, detailing a comprehensive two-category project timeline starting on 05/01/2024. The chart outlines project phases for landfill infrastructure upgrades and solar design/construction, including site assessments, permitting, design, bidding assistance, construction oversight, and solar array operations. Key project components include site design, rezoning and interconnection applications, and array construction and commissioning.

The project aims to develop a solar array at the closed Verona Landfill, aligning with Dane County's sustainability goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% countywide by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The solar development will utilize four specific parcels and is motivated by the need to replace declining landfill gas electrical generation with renewable energy sources. The project supports the county's transition to 100% renewable electricity and addresses increasing electrical demand from growing county operations, with the solar array strategically located at a county complex that includes multiple facilities.
