The state-wide Home Energy Challenge is entering the final months, as fall approaches. Salisbury has nearly 50% of our energy commitment goal and 25% of our energy project goals. With winter looming, we are hoping for more weatherization activity and participation! Below is a Skillshop offered by the Middlebury Energy Committee to provide weatherization information and assistance. Time to get ready for winter, weatherize your home, save money and reduce energy consumption!
