Introducing... MetroWest Solar +
Clean Heat Challenge
I am pleased to announce that the town of Ashland has joined with the communities of Natick, Holliston, and Framingham to bring you the MetroWest Solar + Clean Heat Challenge, a regional campaign focused on helping residents and small businesses install solar and clean heat and cooling technologies. The program goal is to connect home and business owners to high-quality discounted clean energy solutions that reduce utility bills, improve comfort, and lower greenhouse gas emissions and is similar to the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center's Solarize Massachusetts Plus and HeatSmart Massachusetts programs. The communities have secured competitive pricing from reliable installers for solar panels and clean heating and cooling systems, known as heat pumps. This innovative program is available to residents and business owners in Ashland, Framingham, Holliston, and Natick through December 2021.
You can click here on the program website to sign up to be first on the list for a free site assessment. If you'd like to volunteer to help spread the word and encourage clean energy adoption, please click here
For more information, contact the Town of Ashland Sustainability Coordinator, Frank Nakashian by email, fnakashian@ashlandmass.com

Juneteenth with "Ashland is United"
Saturday, June 19th • Noon- 2 pm
The Corner Spot
It's been a while since we could gather in person, and Ashland is United is thrilled that new beginnings are on the way!
Their mission is to build and strengthen bridges where they don't exist and educate and expose people to new information and ideas. They hope you will join them for an informal gathering to connect and learn on June 19th from Noon- 2:00 pm at the Corner Spot.
In addition to conversation and laughter, they also will be honoring and recognizing Juneteenth - a combination of "June" and "Nineteenth." It is a celebration of the day in 1865 that word of President Lincoln's signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves, made its way to the State of Texas. As allies, AiU will share resources on black Americans’ struggle for independence and the disenfranchisement that continued long after slavery ended.
