On July 25, we celebrated as eight Southwest Virginia municipalities received SolSmart designations that recognize their work to make it faster, easier and more affordable for residents and businesses to go solar. Read more here.
Additionally, the Solar Workgroup of Southwest Virginia, which includes Appalachian Voices, and other project partners received new funding from GO Virginia Region One to identify pathways for large-scale investment and job growth for solar manufacturing and utility-scale solar development. We’re excited to participate and help bring the benefits of solar power to Southwest Virginia.
