10:45 p.m. update: Firm wants to build solar-panel factory in Vineland
By JULIET FLETCHER
Published: Monday, November 17, 2008

  VINELAND — City officials say their renewed commitment to refurbishing the municipally owned electric utility has caused private energy businesses to beat a path to City Hall.

On Monday, a group of representatives from Amelio Solar, a Ewing, N.J.-based, developer of solar-energy technology, expressed interest in building a large-scale factory to manufacture solar panels within city limits.

The plan could take advantage of the city’s existing glass-making economy.

Such a solar-panel production hub could be the largest in the state, according to Bart Wolman, chief sales and marketing officer for the firm.
