Rapid Growth Media: Greenville Plans to Power Every School and City Building with solar
Posted on Apr 08, 2010 |
For a small city that wants to power all of its municipal offices and school buildings with solar energy, it couldn't dream up a better name for itself: Greenville.
Civic leaders in this town of nearly 8,000 people northeast of Grand Rapids have rolled out an ambitious plan to install photovoltaic panels on just about all of the 35 city government and school buildings in Greenville as funding becomes available. The electricity generated by the solar panels would also help power street lighting, the waste water treatment plant and airport hangars.
