A residential development currently under construction could be powered by solar panels installed at an adjacent Metrorail station.
Metro Grande is being built next to the Okeechobee station.
Construction is well underway, photos by MiamiSprings.com show.
The development planned to have a combined 286 apartments, along with retail, with Cornerstone Group the developer. Behar Font is the architect.
Miami-Dade commissioners are scheduled to vote on an easement today allowing FPL to install the solar equipment at the station, which will provide electricity to the new apartments.
FPL will pay the county $1 for the easement, according to the proposed resolution.
