Solar Showcase: Wynne Watts Commons
February 7, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
Join us for a panel discussion and tour of Albertina Kerr’s new net-zero inclusive housing development, Wynne Watts Commons!
Albertina Kerr is a local nonprofit that “empowers people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental health challenges, and other social barriers to lead self-determined lives and reach their full potential.â€
As part of this mission, Kerr has recently opened Wynne Watts Commons, which offers 150 affordable units, 30 of which are universally accessible. On top of creating accessible and affordable housing for the residents of Gresham, Oregon’s Wilkes East Neighborhood, Wynne Watts is also sustainable! The solar panels on the roof of the complex provide enough electricity to make this building net-zero.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about how Albertina Kerr was able to develop such an innovative project. RVSP to reserve your spot!
This event is possible thanks to the generous support of Energy Trust of Oregon!

In our monthly How to Go Solar + Storage webinar, we will answer your questions about how solar works, share information about incentives available, and help you take the first step to add solar to your home or business.
