Highlights from The Point Town Hall & Workshop
On April 20th, 2024, we joined The POINT Community Development Corporation at their annual Town Hall, where our team facilitated a workshop on “The Bronx is Breathing: Reimagining a Cleaner Hunts Point.” Over 40 community members, including energy experts, local organizers, and students, participated in a spirited conversation about how to invest in Hunts Point. The community was energized by the potential workforce opportunities at the new charging hub, such as CDL and EV maintenance training. We’re thrilled about the valuable feedback that will guide a community needs assessment and set the stage for a Community Benefits Agreement for the Bronx is Breathing project that truly reflects local aspirations.
