(August 24, 2023) Progress continues at our Wiggles Way development this summer. If you’ve been following this project, you will recall our coverage of foundation pouring and the modular boxes delivered by barge. In case you missed it, the site will be entirely solar powered thanks to the generosity of ReMain Nantucket, support from the Town, and a Gap Energy Grant from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP).

This month, we welcomed officials from MassDEP for a peek inside the exciting beginnings of this 130kW PhotoVoltaic system.

Concrete footings anchor the carport to the ground.

Steel beams were installed in the footers.

Six steel beams on either side will hold up the carport.

As progress continues this fall, we will announce specific details about the application process for the 22 units. Households earning 50-80% AMI will participate in a lottery and households earning 81-150% AMI will be chosen from our Ready-to-Rent list. More information can be found here.

We can’t wait to welcome 22 families to their new homes soon. Want to be part of this exciting project? Become a donor today!
