Please describe any other aspect of your project that is relevant to local economic development. <br /> <br />In addition to the three employees who live in Orange County, the increased visibility of Eagle Solar’s <br />work with OWASA could lead to more lease opportunities with local city and county institutions <br />which could establish our community as a solar rooftop hotspot. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Amount and Duration of Engagement <br /> <br />35. Please describe how you will engage with and/or educate project participants. <br /> <br />OWASA will feature the solar project prominently on our website (owasa.org) and social media <br />channels. We will hold a Neighborhood Information Meeting to inform and engage the community <br />about this project, as well as other projects designed to make OWASA more resilient and sustainable. <br />We will also send out an email to residents surrounding Cane Creek Reservoir informing them about <br />the project, encouraging them to attend the Neighborhood Information Meeting. <br /> <br />In addition, Cane Creek Reservoir is a popular recreation facility in Orange County. The Cane Creek <br />solar PV array will be visible from well-trafficked Highway 54. OWASA will install signage at the solar <br />site to help inform recreation area visitors. <br /> <br />We would be honored to call Orange County residents a partner on this project. <br /> <br />36. How will you measure the success of that engagement or educational effort? <br />a. Web site traffic <br />b. Social media engagement <br />c. Participation in the Neighborhood Information Meeting <br />d. Open rate of email message <br />e. Cane Creek recreation visitor count <br /> <br />37. Please describe any other aspect of your project that is relevant to the amount, or quality, or length <br />of engagement and education that your project will produce. <br /> <br />This solar project will produce clean, renewable energy for twenty-five years. <br /> <br />Successful implementation of this project will be a springboard for future renewable energy projects <br />by OWASA. <br /> <br />This project will serve as proof of concept for solar leases, perhaps leading to more public entities <br />pursuing this option to add solar to their energy portfolios. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 6F2DEF91-DA4B-449D-8062-2F5319D9C9CC
