Proposed Child Care Facility Gets EPA Grant

The Columbia Gorge Education Service District and Columbia Gorge Community College Foundation have been selected to receive a $19.99 million grant from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Community Change Grant program to help create a new child care facility in The Dalles.  The EPA says the proposed Columbia Gorge Early Learning and Resilience Center would be solar-powered and grid-islanded to reduce air pollution and provide the community with resilient power during what the agency termed “extreme climate events.”  The Columbia Gorge Early Learning and Resilience Center will also include 2 new electric vehicle charging stations, a new bus stop, and air filtration systems.  Additionally, the project will expand Columbia Gorge Community College’s successful career and technical education programs.
