Benefit Concert: AMPlify Appalachia. In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene, local partners stepped in to deploy solar and battery storage microgrid systems with a focus on restoring power, telecom, and water to communities across Western North Carolina. As part of plans for long-term regional resiliency, these partner organizations are working to deploy more clean energy solutions to serve the community. Join them for an evening of music at Sierra Nevada’s Mill River taproom (100 Sierra Nevada Way Mills River, NC), to enjoy local artists and support regional recovery through clean energy solutions. The event will also feature short remarks from local leaders and recovery organizations about efforts made to date and future recovery needs that can be supported through clean energy solutions. AMPlify Appalachia will also kick off a recovery summit in the Asheville area hosted by Footprint Project and Land of Sky Regional Council. Thursday, July 31 • Doors open at 5:30, Music 6:30 PM
