GIVING
Powering Allegany County with community-enhancing opportunities.

Overview



Dan’s Mountain Wind Community Benefit Fund will allocate $10,000 annually to empower local not-for-profit organizations in Allegany County. The grant cycle opens yearly, inviting applications from groups dedicated to enhancing various aspects of community life including education, historic preservation, public safety, economic development, and public recreation.

In our commitment to ensuring that these funds make the most significant impact, we are establishing a locally-run allocation committee. This committee will be composed of local citizens and community leaders who will take the responsibility of making informed decisions on the allocation of these funds. We invite interested volunteers to step forward to join this committee. The primary mission of the Dan’s Mountain Wind Community Benefit Fund is to enhance the quality of life for Allegany County residents. We place special emphasis on projects that create or improve infrastructure and cultural opportunities, believing that such initiatives are vital to the ongoing growth and prosperity of the community.

During construction, the Clearway team has contributed over $5,800 to local nonprofits and community organizations as part of its community engagement program. Recipient organizations include:

Project Phases

Daggett Solar will be built in three phases:

The project will be built in three phases. The first two phases consist of solar and storage and the last phase consists of just storage. The first phase commenced construction in the fall of 2021 and will be complete in summer of 2023. The second phase commenced construction in Q2 of 2022 will be complete in winter of 2023. The third phase will be constructed at a future time.

A Community-Enhancing Opportunity

From generating tax revenue to creating new job opportunities, Daggett Solar will bring major economic benefits to San Bernardino County. During construction, the project will generate $210 million in local spending and pay the county up to $10.9 million in Sales and Use Taxes. During operations, the project will generate $5 million annually. Once complete, Daggett Solar will drive up to $18.5 million in tax revenue to support local schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.

In terms of the local workforce, Daggett Solar will create more than 500 union labor jobs in partnership with I.B.E.W. Labor Union 477. The site will also sustain at least a dozen permanent onsite roles for project operation, maintenance, and management.

To ensure the safety of the Daggett Solar team and the community at large, thorough safety measures will be implemented at each step of the project. Since solar has just a few moving parts – and no emissions or engines – it will be a quiet, clean neighbor. Additionally, we will adhere to stringent conditions for dust mitigation during construction and opportunities. From start to finish, the project will be staffed and secured by operational and safety professionals.
