Farmington — Right now, there’s not much to see on the land east of N.M. Highway 371 near the Bisti Wilderness Area.
But a group of Navajo Nation officials and business representatives who gathered on the arid land Tuesday see potential.
Specifically, they envision rows and rows of solar panels. As they consulted a map from the Navajo Land Department outlining the boundaries of Paragon Ranch, they discussed areas that could house the panels.
Paragon Ranch is 22,000 acres of land in the Eastern Agency set aside under the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act to benefit people relocated because of the Navajo-Hopi land dispute.
