<p>In case anyone wants to do a little research here are some links
that offer food for thought for our discussion on Sunday. My
criteria is to figure out simple strategies that fit into the
grant amount but create as high a profile as possible for
generating interest in seeing Marietta as potentially a
sustainable community in the making.</p>
<p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Sustainable Cities and Towns – where
does it begin? Sustainability is made up of three pillars: <b>economy</b>,
society, and the environment. These principles are also informally
used as <b>profit</b>, people and planet. A sustainable city
will be one that can meet its social, cultural, environmental, and
political needs, alongside economic and physical objectives, while
ensuring equitable access to all services by residents, without
draining the city’s resources (Rogers 1997). NOTE: It seems that
water and flooding need to be in the sustainability formula.<br>

<div dir="auto">Yes, it came as a surprise to me as well. And yes
Rebecca, a project like that would be in the realm of
possibilities! Some other projects funded were simply planting
native pollinators on a large lawn or farm area.

<p>I think the charging stations are less then $500 but
there would possibly be a cost for installation. Jay
would know for sure because he just finished consulting
with Tri-County Vocational about various solar things and
then purchased a recharging station and installed for
them. The other big issue is that those recharging
stations can bring revenue. Jay and I take "drives" in
our electric care - we drive to Marietta, charge the car
at the Armory. Walk downtown to eat at a restaurant
outside, or buy coffee at Jeremiah's. Then we can walk to
Giant Eagle to buy some groceries. This is money we used
to spend in other places. We often purchase livestock
items at Tractor Supply. I think it would add up to $300
to $500 a month in revenue for the area. If we're doing
this surely others are too, plus it brings people
downtown. Annie<br>

lieu of funding the Sustainability Forum, perhaps we
could approach Huntington Bank to discuss the
placement of one or two car charging stations (I don't
know the cost of the units or the cost of installing
them) in their newly resurfaced parking area. If they
are interested, there would be advantages for the Bank
and for FUUSM members. The project could also serve as
past and future compensation to the Bank for allowing
FUUSM to use their parking facility on Sunday morning.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I received news on the Clear Into the Future
Grant that the money will NOT go to the
Sustainability Forum. The Corporate Grant Director
decided the event is more of a sponsorship role.
They would rather fund tangible sustainability
improvements such as installing solar powered car
charging stations, adding native plants to river
banks to filter water and prevent erosion, etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given the uncertainty around the forum timing
and the possibility of going digital, this is not
necessarily bad news. What is good news is they
still have us slated for $7,500 (one of the
highest awards given globally!!!) and we can
execute projects to showcase in the forum!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have until September 11th to submit our
revised application with the project(s) we would
like to fund.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For those interested, let's setup a time to
discuss <u>and decide</u> on what projects to put
this money towards. Does this Sunday work? Can
someone setup a Zoom meeting? I do not have an
account that allows me to create a meeting.</div>
