The City of Ann Arbor has been awarded a grant to renovate the Bryant Community Center into a net-zero public facility.
The grant for the Bryant Community Center, amounting to over $180,000, will be used to install electric appliances, energy efficient windows, and geothermal systems.
Lisa Disch is a member of Ann Arbor City Council and voted to accept the grant.
<i>“The community center will be equipped with solar and battery and, ultimately, geothermal, and it will be a place where people can see exactly how reliable that is and how this kind of microgriding works.”</i>
The grant will also fund educational programs open to the public, intended to demystify the technology the city plans to use to reach its carbon neutrality goals.
