Flagstaff named one of the top ten cities in the U.S. for jobs
Kiplingers Personal Finance included Flagstaff in its list of “2009 Best Cities.” This distinction is based on a formula that considers income growth, cost of living, and the presence of a professional, high-quality workforce that will help generate new jobs and businesses once the recession ends. Other factors include the presence of a “creative class” — scientists, engineers, educators, writers, artists, entertainers, and others — who inject both economic and cultural vitality into a city and help make it a vibrant place to live.

The Community Power Project : Flagstaff Pilot
Visit APS’s site to learn more about this exciting project.
APS is proposing a pilot project in Flagstaff designed to increase the deployment of renewable energy, especially distributed energy from solar panels. The APS Community Power Project provides another opportunity for people to “go solar.” With no upfront costs, community members will host solar electric systems on their rooftops and join with their neighbors to form, in essence, an interconnected renewable power plant. The pilot will also be a part of APS’s smart grid initiatives for operation and data collection.
A New Solar Opportunity
APS will own, operate and receive energy from solar panels on eligible customer rooftops. APS will hire solar contractors to install and maintain the system at no upfront cost to customers.
Where will it take place?
Sandvig 4 is the name of the distribution area (or “feeder”) in northeastern Flagstaff that will host the Community Power Project pilot. It is generally bounded by Railhead Ave. to the south, Wupatki Trail to the north, Kochfield Rd. to the east, and Timberline Estates to the west. The Sandvig 4 feeder serves about 3,000 homes and businesses. In all, APS seeks to install 1.5 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity with the Community Power Project pilot.
