On the Agenda: A City of Reno PodcastShow Notes
The City of Reno is moving forward with a proposed rooftop solar array at the Moana Springs Community Aquatics and Fitness Center. Environmental Services Manager Suzanne Groneman joins the podcast to explain how the project would generate renewable energy, reduce long-term utility costs and advance the City’s sustainability goals without using General Fund dollars.
The conversation also explores how the facility was designed with solar energy in mind, how federal funding and proceeds from previous clean-energy projects are helping fund the nearly $1.6 million investment, and how the project could serve as a model for future City facilities.
Plus, City Manager Jackie Bryant recaps highlights from the July 22 Reno City Council meeting and previews what is coming before Council on July 29.
