?? Big news! State Reps. Carol Glanville, Rachel Hood, and Phil Skaggs presented Mayor Rosalynn Bliss and City Manager Mark Washington with a $3 million check at Butterworth Landfill, a fully remediated Superfund site. This funding will help transport solar energy from Butterworth to power City operations like street lighting and traffic signals. ?? The City has worked for over a decade to install solar panels at the 180-acre site, which was closed in the 1970s and fully remediated in 2000. The project will help meet the City's goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 85% and reaching 100% renewable energy for City operations! ?? #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GRGreen #SolarPower
