East End neighbors asked to weigh in on proposed ‘Resilience Hub’
VENN
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Residents of Richmond's East End can weigh in on a proposed "Resilience Hub" in their neighborhood at a community meeting on Tuesday.
From 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 30, the city's Office of Sustainability will host a community meeting about the findings of a recent energy resilience assessment of the East End, as well as gather feedback from the community on a proposed "Resilience Hub."
This hub will serve East End residents during emergencies, officials said.
Richmond is hosting this meeting as part of the Virginia Energy Resilience Study (VERS), which is a statewide initiative that gave the River City a $10,000 grant to "assess energy vulnerabilities, develop design concepts for a solar-powered hub, and engage residents in resilience planning," according to officials.
The city's project focuses on Census Tracts 201, 202 and 204, which are especially sensitive to climate changes and have high energy burdens.
The meeting will be held at the East End Branch Library at 1200 N. 25th Street. Those interested in attending should register here. For more information on RVAgreen 2050, click here.
