The recent article (“Dublin solar project put on hold due to funding concerns”) highlighting the hold on the installment of solar panels on Dublin Fire Department's roof is disappointing to say the least. Hardworking community members worked countless weeks to put together a proposal that gained community support, submitted a grant that was approved and funded and eagerly awaited the project only to have it put on hold.

These funds are the bread and butter of small towns. This project supports the Fire Department and offsets costs with continual savings over the long term. This project saves the town money, which can then be used to fund other projects that benefit the community, not to mention also helping people afford their bread and butter. Please help make this project come to fruition.
