Local Government Partnerships

The benefits of solar reverberate throughout low-income communities: families live more affordably in their homes; savings get reinvested in local economies; and the value of sustainability spreads.

Mayor of Lakewood

In partnership with GRID Alternatives Colorado, local governments can help reduce and stabilize long-term housing costs for low income-residents, prevent local greenhouse gas emissions to meet targets under Amendment 37 and provide hands-on green job training opportunities for local workers.

Current and past partners have utilized Community Development Block Grants, fee-for-service contracts, low-cost loans and local solar rebate programs to support GRID's work in their communities. To find out more, please contact Chuck Watkins at 303.968.1328.
