The Gila River Indian Community of Arizona may build a solar power plant to help the tribe become more self-sufficient.
The tribe's utility agency is proposing to build a 4-megawatt solar plant. The 24-acre, $17.6 million plant would help generate electricity for the tribe's resort, a cowboy town and several proposed retail centers.
The tribe has been expanding its economy and businesses in recent years.
