Melrose’s Resiliency Hubs
This project provides grant-funded solar-powered resiliency hubs installed in the Sunshine and La Finca del Sur community gardens, with the following goals:
Supporting community programming and functions on a regular basis
Enhancing community garden access to infrastructure, including power, solar-powered wifi , and rainwater harvesting
Acting as a central node for community resilience and self-sufficiency in an extreme weather event; the gardens will be well positioned to host vital services (e.g. electrical charging, food distribution, internet access) during natural and manmade disasters
Promoting educational opportunities related to solar installations
