Harris County to pilot solar energy hubs Ocials with Harris County’s Oce of Sustainability are anticipating breaking ground by the end of the year on a couple of locations, including community centers and libraries across the county, that will serve as a pilot program for solar and alternative energy hubs. The big picture Jesse Dickerman, Oce of County Administration chief of sta”, said one of Harris County’s clean energy strategies is to decrease its reliance on the energy grid and increase its use of alternative energy. Once the pilot program is complete, it will encompass at least 12-15 chosen sites across the county that will be installed with solar, battery storage and electric vehicle charging stations, ocials said.

‘Food Farmacies’ are coming to more Harris County health centers Harris Health System ocials are expanding the Food Farmacy intervention program to at least three additional sites after Harris County commis- sioners approved allocating close to $500,000 in federal American Rescue Plan Act funding Dec. 19. Food Farmacies serve all adult patients experi- encing food insecurity by connecting them with healthy foods, dietician support, bene‚ts enroll- ment navigators and other community resources, according to the program’s website. What happened Before the commissioners’ approval to allocate the funds, Harris Health’s Food Farmacies existed at Acres Home Health Center and Strawberry Health Center, as well as Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital. The services have been expanded to:
