The project received township zoning approval for both uses in August of this year.

Fit Energy on October 6 said engineering and the remaining permitting work are now underway ahead of construction.

The project is planned on land that has already been mined and quarried, putting previously used industrial property back into productive use rather than developing untouched forests or farmland.

The on-site power will be generated by natural gas fuel cells supplied by FuelCell Energy, Inc., a Connecticut-based manufacturer of utility-scale fuel cell technology, under its strategic agreement with Fit Energy .

The fuel cells produce electricity through an electrochemical process rather than combustion, which helps deliver cleaner energy with minimal impact on the surrounding community.

On-site power generation will reduce the project’s reliance on the regional power grid.

The site plan includes setbacks, landscaping, and screening designed to limit views of the site from nearby homes and local roads, demonstrating a focus on balancing energy infrastructure needs with community character.

The project includes investment in power, natural gas, water, and sewer infrastructure that will serve the site and add to local utility capacity and stability for the future.

Construction is expected to create significant employment and business opportunities for contractors, skilled trades, and suppliers over a multi-year buildout.
