Everlight Solar’s Groundbreaking Ceremony

On March 9th, 2023, Everlight Solar held a groundbreaking ceremony for our new office in Verona, Wisconsin. The symbolic ceremony celebrated the start of construction on a 64,000-square-foot structure that will serve as Everlight’s new base of operations in Verona.

Our executive team hosted the event and performed the groundbreaking alongside Verona City Mayor Luke Diaz. Key members of the project from Newcomb Construction and Settlers Bank were also in attendance to mark the occasion. Together, we celebrated the event by sharing our vision for the future.

Everlight Solar President and CEO Will Creech reaffirmed his commitment to the local community during his opening speech. Afterward, Mayor Luke Diaz emphasized the bright future solar energy has in Wisconsin, and how excited he is to be a part of it. Additionally, the event featured a live-streamed version of the Everlight Solar groundbreaking ceremony that was available to Everlight Solar staff members.
