Summary of Projects

The Addison County Relocaliztion Network (ACORN) received a grant in 2008 to organize the event “Our Community in Transition: Visioning, Networking and Empowering Community in the Face of Rapidly Changing Climate”. The one-day conference sparked a continued series of community activities and ways to be engaged on energy issues in the future.
