[Green] DuPont Grant Change

Thu Sep 3 20:27:52 CDT 2020

Thank you for organizing the meeting, George. I’ll be there. 

How about this: solar-powered charging stations? And how about a professionally designed and planned blueprint for native plants to control erosion along the river banks?

If we could afford it, maybe we could add a PV to the roof of the Armory so that the charging station there could be solar powered? 

Let’s keep coming up with ideas!
