Mayor: Power Pledge seeks Robbins' support for $1M Illinois Solar for All grant
Summary
Power Pledge asked the Robbins board for a letter of support to apply for an approximately $1 million Illinois Solar for All grant and said it partners with the Chicago Sky; the mayor said the village would want partner letters before offering support and asked whether the village’s grant writer could assist.
The mayor introduced a representative of Power Pledge during the special meeting, saying the renewable-energy nonprofit is seeking community partners and a village letter of support for an Illinois Solar for All grant application worth about $1 million.
Mayor Darren E. Bryant told trustees that Power Pledge said it partners with the Chicago Sky and other groups. The minutes record that the mayor advised the village would need to see letters from Power Pledge’s partners (the minutes mention “Chicago Sky, Can Do, etc.”) before moving forward. Power Pledge also asked whether the village’s grant writer could assist with the application.
Why it matters: A successful Illinois Solar for All grant could finance local solar projects serving low-income or community facilities, but the village said it needs partner documentation before committing a letter of support.
The minutes do not record the village issuing a letter at this meeting.
