The Clean Energy Coalition is becoming more efficient in its new home in Depot Town.
The sustainability-based non-profit recently consolidated its offices into a Depot Town storefront. The Clean Energy Coalition now has 400-square-foot retail area (called the Energy Outlet), space for its offices behind that and training room in the very back. That allowed it to expand into areas like retail and community outreach more effectively.
"This is an opportunity to reach out to people on an individual or group level," says Deb Heed, project manager for the
Clean Energy Coalition
. "We want to reach out to the public."
The 1,200 square feet houses six employees and a couple of interns. The back conference room will be used for teaching local groups or people about sustainable practices. The front retail space will have space for sustainability products, books and demonstrations.
"I like to call it our energy boutique," Heed says.
