Sustainability is a hot topic, both in terms of the environment and organizational longevity. HHI’s work in green energy helps us to be sustainable in both senses.

The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission awarded Historic Harrisville a $150,000 grant, through the Renewable Energy Fund Grant Program, in 2014. The grant was for the installation of three 350,000 BTU, wood pellet boilers in the Cheshire Mills Complex.

In mid-December Historic Harrisville received good news on two fronts. First, it was awarded a grant by New Hampshire’s Land and Community Heritage Investment Program to rehabilitate the Trip Hammer Shop. Secondly, an application to the Public Utilities Commission renewable energy generation program won approval.
