As part of their ongoing commitment to connect customers with energy saving solutions, the Sponsors of Mass Save® are partnering with nearly 90 communities across the Commonwealth, including Everett, through the Main Streets initiative. Launched in April and continuing through October, the initiative connects small business owners with approved contractors to schedule nocost energy assessments and determine solutions for lowering energy use and saving money. In 2023, the Sponsors of Mass Save visited 91 communities across the Commonwealth which resulted in more than 360 fully weatherized small businesses. Since 2022, the initiative has prioritized equitably delivering greenhouse gas reductions by partnering with historically under-resourced communities, Environmental Justice Communities, as designated by the state, and Mass Save Community First Partners. Now into 2024, the SponCelebrating 66 Years in Business! sors have expanded their multilingual marketing strategy to meet the needs of EJCs, where, according to the Offi ce of Environmental Justice & Equity, 25 percent or more of the population may not be fl uent in English. Language support is provided at in-person events, and all pre- and post-event materials (such as flyers, applications and contracts) are translated into the languages primarily spoken in those communities. This eff ort, in its 10th year, has helped thousands of small businesses in hundreds of communities, helping them save more than 25 million kilowatt hours of electricity. Summer is Here!
