Trinity County has received a grant to develop a process to provide electricity to Post Mountain. Flowra was selected as the contractor to analyze at least three methods for obtaining electricity: (1) Extension of TPUD lines from Hayfork to Post Mountain, (2) Connection of PG&E lines passing through Post Mountain to a local distribution system, (3) Creation of a solarmicrogrid. We want to ensure that members of the Post Mountain community are deeply involved in the analysis and decision-making process. For that reason, we have decided to create a focus group. The responsibilities of the focus group will be:
• Meet with each other to discuss ideas and concerns related to bringing electricity to post mountain.
• Meet with engineers, PG&E, and TPUD to learn more about the technical aspects of building electrical infrastructure.
• Meet with potential state and federal grantors to learn more about funding opportunities.
Meetings will generally be held once per month for about 12 months. The time and date has not yet been determined but we will set the time/date to be convenient to the greatest number of members. We are looking for 5-10 individuals to be part of the focus group. Individuals should live, work, or otherwise have close ties to Post Mountain. If you are interested in joining the group, please download and fill out the information on the document below. Please submit your application by May 1.
