BALE (Building a Local Economy), a non-profit organization in South Royalton, is creating a local community array. This is good news for people who are interested in solar power but who don't have a favorable site at their home (due to trees, roof oriented in the wrong direction, etc.)

On Tuesday, January 28, at 5:45pm, you can learn more and indicate your level of interest in the White River Community Solar array. Bring a year's worth of electric bills with you if you need help estimating how many panels you would want to invest in.

BALE is located at 35 South Windsor Street facing the village green in South Royalton. For more information, or if you are interested but can't attend, contact Chris Wood: balevt@gmail.com.
