The city of Tucson announced on Earth Day they have a new project to add solar panels around town.

The project includes adding 26 new arrays of panels, doubling the 27 the city already has in the next two years.

“(The solar panels will be) in parks, on our buildings and each one of those arrays reduces are cost, which means potential to put that money in police, or fire or roads, but it also reduces are carbon footprint,” Tucson mayor Jonathan Rothschild said.
