Walpole, NH (March 7, 2022) – The Cheshire County Conservation District (CCCD) thanks community members throughout our state and beyond who supported our Monadnock Region Community Supported Solar for Farms (CSS) Crowdfunding Campaign!
From February 1st through March 3rd, 2022, CCCD led a crowdfunding campaign through The Local Crowd Monadnock's platform. CCCD's Monadnock Region Community Supported Solar project (CSS) brings together farmers, investors and champions to use available financial models to help local farms realize the potential of the renewable energy economy.
Farmers in NH face significant energy expenses to run their businesses.This project aims to help to stabilize and lower costs of electricity for participating farms through the CSS framework and in turn, increase the viability of those farms!
We are thrilled to announce that together, we have raised $17,812! All funds directly support local farmers, by making solar shares more accessible and affordable! Thank you for your support of our local farmers, and for ensuring a bright future for our community!
To learn more about the CSS project, visit: https://cheshireconservation.org/solar. Solar shares are still available to local farmers. Shares are reserved on a first come, first served basis! For additional information, or to purchase a share please contact CCCD's District Manager Amanda Littleton: (603)-756-2988 ext. 4 or email at amanda@cheshireconservation.org.
