The Liberty County Development Authority is working on a deal that could bring a power generating solar farm to the Midway Industrial Park. The LCDA Monday authorized its chairman, Allen Brown, to sign an option agreement allowing the solar power developer up to a year to study the project’s feasibility.If negotiations are successful, the solar farm would be located on a vacant 25-acre tract known as Phase III of the Midway Industrial Park. The park is almost completely built out with five existing industries except for the small irregularly shaped parcel that has not drawn any interest in more than 20 years, officials say.Elan Technology, Hugo Boss, International Greetings, SNF Floquip and Truss Mart are in the Midway park now.
