This is an amazing opportunity to promote the use of renewable energy while also advancing the increasing the services available to the community. The program has far reaching value in cost savings that will be rolled into the community for decades to come. The $40,000 in annual savings doesn't go to a corporate bottom line but instead becomes a ride for a senior to a doctors visit, services to a child with autism, or a home to an individual with disabilities. I urge you to consider the benefits to the community that come from this renewable project when making a selection on who will receive this financial assistance.

This is a sensible and impactful project that will allow Pioneer Resources to broaden it's already exemplary programming in our community. Couple that with the opportunity to effectively remove their carbon footprint at their facilities and this is a no-brainer. As a citizen of the community where they conduct their work I am very supportive of this grant request.
