The Crawfordsville/Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce was excited to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony to unveil the new solar panel project at the Montgomery County Free Clinic.
The project consists of two 9.9 kW solar arrays installed on the roof of the clinic. They will provide an estimated 90% of the clinic’s energy requirements, reducing expenses by $2,200 annually. These savings will be utilized to improve the health of the patients of the clinic while impacting the health of our planet.
“John Smillie, a local advocate for green energy projects, was the driving force behind helping us learn about the project,” Clinic Executive Director David Johnson. “He has a large interest in energy projects. His help and support got us off the ground through his passion.”
Montgomery County Free Clinic is located at 816 Mill St. They can be reached on 765-362-2344.
