Project overview
A proposed community solar cooperative would let households and small businesses subscribe to locally generated renewable power without rooftop panels.
What this project delivers
- A five-megawatt solar array on a remediated public site.
- Discounted subscription shares for income-qualified households.
- Pollinator habitat, workforce training, and public energy education.
Community involvement
The feasibility phase includes utility workshops, subscriber-interest surveys, environmental review scoping, and meetings with nearby neighborhoods.
The strongest message was to design for everyday needs while keeping long-term operations affordable and transparent.
Community engagement summary
What happens next
The city will confirm interconnection capacity, refine subscriber pricing, and release the draft site and cooperative structure.
