U.S. Senator Peter Welch visited Charlotte to celebrate Charlotte's piloting of a low-interest federal loan program through the Vermont Bond Bank for the energy-efficient Town Garage that hosts solar panels on the roof and is heated with a geothermal system. The solar panels provide all the electricity needed for the garage, town office, library, and senior center as well as 83% of the fire department's needs. Senator Welch is seen here with the members of the Charlotte Energy & Climate Action Committee, Jim Hodson, Mike Yantachka, Rebecca Foster, Deirdre Holmes, and Wolfger Schneider. 

Now Charlotters of all ages can safely cross Ferry Road thanks to the improved crosswalk with solar flashing pedestrian crossing beacons provided by the Charlotte Library and the Charlotte Energy Committee.
