Community Solar Program (Switch Together)
Summary
A study ranks city buildings for solar potential — Community Center, golf course maintenance, and library top the list — with the landfill and dredge spoils parcel offering the biggest energy generation. Federal tax credits expire soon, so delaying costs money, but commissioners want real cost and payback numbers first.
