Increased Air Traffic concerning
Neighboring Communities
Flight classes have increased at Merritt Island Airport. Increased classes teaching U.S. students & foreign students & take offs are at 3/4 throttle creating extremely loud roars over our homes. Please voice your opposition by contacting Mike Powell at the TYCO Airport in Titusville 321.359.9171, ext 203
Merritt Island’s ONLY Golf Course is now owned by the Savannahs at Sykes Creek HOA & we are making changes! Stop by & see us this summer for a round of golf, cold drink on our deck with spectacular sunsets, or daily lunch & dinner specials at Savannahs Bar &Grill— www.savannahsgolf.com
Neighbors in Brevard County have formed a solar co-op to make it easy to save on solar. An experienced team ensures you un-derstand how solar works, how it can be financed, and how it can be installed on your home. The group is holding unbiased, install-er-neutral information sessions to educate the public about solar & recruit new members. Our closest info session will be in the Solar Energy Center in Cocoa (next to EFSC aka BCC) on Wednesday, May 22 at 5:30pm. Co-op members can save as much as 20% off by joining the group. Joining the co-op is not a commitment to purchase panels. Co-ops take advantage of the group’s bulk-purchasing power to get discounted pricing & a quality installation. They also benefit from the educational process to
feel confident that they are mak-ing the right decision about going solar. Homeowners together in a group, or co-op, choose an in-staller on behalf of the entire group through an open & com-petitive bidding process. The se-lected installer provides everyone in the group with a personalized proposal for their consideration. Participants sign their own con-tracts with the installer, & every-one gets the discount. All home-owners who reside in Brevard County are eligible to participate in the co-op. Residents interested in joining the co-op can sign up for more information at the co-op web page. www.solarunitedneighbors.org/co-ops/ florida/space-coast-solar-co-op/
