This is a short-term, community-driven initiative to help residents leverage their <br /> buying power to get better prices on solar power energy. It also helps to educate residents on the <br /> opportunities of solar power as well as simplifying the process of purchasing by doing some of <br /> the investigative work for residents and finding out how to put those packages together. This is <br /> to try to make solar more affordable,to educate and build awareness in our community and to <br /> simplify the purchase process. This demonstrates the power of local action as well as the <br /> leverage of partnerships. This is organized by local residents and we think this helps support the <br /> initiative of making South Bend a `Solar City.' We also think it helps support the image of being <br /> an innovative City that is trying to develop jobs by drawing attention to our leadership in the <br /> emerging green-economy. <br /> 455 County-City Building•227 W.Jefferson Boulevard•South Bend,Indiana 46601 <br /> Phone 574-235-9221 •Fax 574-235-9173•TDD 574-235-5567•www.SouthBendfN.gov <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN ALKEYNA M.ALDRIDGE JOSEPH MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> OPERATIONS <br />
