A POWERFUL COMMUNITY GIFT THROUGH THE SOLARIZATION OF CENTRO DE AMISTAD SENIOR CENTER

Located in the Village of Santa Clara, New Mexico, (East of Silver City) this solar project will meet the electric needs of the senior center and allow monies previously set aside for electric bill payments to PNM be repurposed back into the program, like providing healthy meals to more seniors in the Village of Santa Clara, Bayard and Hurley.
