for up to 16 devices. By adding signage to Haven with QR codes that link to our website, we can share how both <br />Haven and our full rooftop solar system are positively impacting our community. By amplifying our commitment <br />to green design and initiatives, Haven will become the focal point of our Outdoor Eco‐Classroom. Our youth will <br />learn creative ways they can incorporate ecofriendly life choices into their day‐to‐day routines. Making our <br />commitment to the environment more visible, individuals and businesses alike will be inspired to adopt similar <br />initiatives, specifically solar. <br /> <br />Reviewer Comments: This project did not offer a significant amount of GHG reduction for the expenditure and <br />therefore we did not recommend funding. We would like to encourage the ArtsCenter to continue to apply for <br />funding for impactful projects that are highly visible to the community and that provide educational <br />opportunities. <br /> <br />Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: <br />$1,354 <br /> <br />#10 Ranked Project – St Thomas More Catholic Church <br />Applicant (Collaborators): N/A <br />Funding Requested: $22,030 <br />Recommended Funding Level: $0 <br />Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 16 <br /> <br />Project Description: Installation of an EV charging Station in the church/parish center area that would be freely <br />accessible to visitors on campus. Equipment costs are for parts and equipment. Personnel costs are for <br />installation and project associated labor. <br /> <br />Project Benefits: The station will be located in the parking area of the building where most meetings and <br />activities happen making it accessible to any visitor on campus with an EV. EV chargers offset fossil fuels that <br />would be burned by internal combustion engines in fuel engine vehicles. The EV charger station would be tied to <br />the solar array to be installed on the building roof later this year, therefore offsetting electric grid electricity <br />generated by fossil fuel plants in NC. <br /> <br />Reviewer Comments: In the future, this grant would be more likely to receive recommendation for funding if <br />the project were expanded to offer benefits to those beyond the St. Thomas More community due to the nature <br />of the time it takes to complete a full charge. <br /> <br />Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $225 <br /> <br />#11 Ranked Project – Triangle ECycling <br />Applicant (Collaborators): Bike Walk NC, Carolina Tarwheels, City of Raleigh, Chapel Hill Cycling, Bicycle Alliance <br />of Chapel Hill <br />Funding Requested: $50,000 <br />Recommended Funding Level: $0 <br />Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 13 <br /> <br />Project Description: To purchase 25‐30 electronic bikes and sell them to Orange County residents at below market <br />prices. Half of the bikes will be sold to qualified low‐income residents using a discount voucher program to promote social <br />justice and racial equity. This pilot program will raise awareness of ebikes as a healthy, environmentally friendly way of <br />reducing car trips and commuting, including accessing public transportation for work and school. It will be the first step in <br />making Orange County a leader in the national ebike voucher movement.” <br /> <br />Project Benefits: <br />The people who purchase the ebikes will benefit most directly. Indirectly the community will benefit from <br />reduced GHG emissions. This is a small pilot program but OC residents will benefit from the increased use of <br />ebikes as they are proven to replace cars for short “around town” trips and provide a way to commute from <br />11 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: EB7B9CC8-B910-4965-AF93-0969E3E03E78
