EDIC Works To Meet Needs - Letter

I was a director of the Falmouth Economic Development & Industrial Corporation (EDIC) for many years and I worked each day to ensure that our community be afforded every possible economic opportunity. In my last year at the agency, I finalized negotiations on an extremely valuable project that I think everyone should know about.

We transformed the old landfill on Thomas B. Landers Road into a large-scale solar farm designed to provide discount green energy to Falmouth families in need. Our partner in this project, Citizens Energy Corporation, was founded by Joseph P. Kennedy II to make life’s basic needs more affordable through creative energy ventures. Their innovative program, JOE-4-SUN, is already saving some local households $300 every year on their energy bills.

In the past year our residents have faced unprecedented need and I am very proud of how hard the EDIC has worked to address the financial hardships brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only do the hardworking folks there seek out opportunities for the town government and hard-hit businesses, but also for Falmouth families.

The JOE-4-SUN program puts money back into the pockets of our residents while making the green energy revolution accessible for all. I strongly urge anyone who needs a hand to apply today at www.citizensenergy.com/joe4sun-falmouth or call (855) JOE-4-SUN.
