Environmental Projects
The Bullhead City area is expected to be the future home of a six billion dollar solar plant and energy farm. The solar plant, which will be built in Laughlin, Nevada, will potentially bring over 4,000 jobs to the Tri-State. In addition to this project, a 1,200 Megawatt solar generating facility has been approved by Mohave County, to be located on over 10,000 acres (40 km2), just over ten miles (16 km) outside of Bullhead City. The decades-old Mohave Generating Station Coal Slurry Power Plant was shut down in 2005, reducing air pollution and excess use of river water.

Famous quotes containing the word projects:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
