The thorough diligence, speed of execution, and collaborative efforts on this deal exemplify why our development partners choose to transact with us and contribute to a more sustainable future,” said David Okuwobi, Business Development Director at Nautilus.
Tony Yonnone, Senior Vice President at SolAmerica stated, “The Town of Canton and the St. Lawrence County IDA have been integral to the success of these projects, and we can’t thank them enough for their support throughout the development process. Trusted industry colleagues and partners are indispensable, though, and Nautilus is one of the best. SolAmerica has genuinely enjoyed working with the Nautilus team to make these projects a reality. We’re excited to see them completed, commissioned, and generating renewable energy to help power the promise of a sustainable future.”
