This federal Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants Program (CFDA 66.616) provides $20,030,841 to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde (CTGR) to build a Resident Resilience Center (RRC) in the Grand Ronde community. The RRC is designed to serve as a community resilience hub, offering safe shelter, services, and amenities during extreme climate events such as wildfires, snow, ice storms, and power outages. The facility will incorporate solar-plus-storage technology to function as a microgrid during grid failures. The grant will also fund the design, project management, and construction management services provided by the Energy Trust of Oregon, CTGR's statutory partner, through a $58,500 sub-award. Overall, the project aims to enhance the community's resilience and access to climate-related services, while incorporating sustainable construction practices and offering various community-oriented facilities and programs.
