Thanks to an outpouring of financial support, the Board of Directors has approved building the solar array! Building this part of the Cedar at 60 project will have an immediate impact, as we can begin saving on our energy bills.
The solar panels were installed in March 2024, in a spot behind Hickory Lodge where some trees have been cleared. The array will power Hickory and the renewed Cedar Lodge. We will also have net-metering, which means payback for extra power.
Special thanks to the many donors who met our Christmas Challenge! An anonymous donor has made a special gift of $10,000 to the Cedar at 60 campaign because YOU met the challenge! If you “adopted” one of our 80 solar panels, you will be able to monitor its production through a special app. We’ll let you know more as we connect the panels in spring 2024!
