For our May Troostwood Neighborhood meeting, we thought we would try something a little different by changing venues. Instead of the Rockhurst Community Center, where we typically meet, we will be meeting at the Project Living Proof house at 917 Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd. Starting with a 100 year old home, the Project Living Proof house demonstrates that you don’t have to have a new home to have one that is energy efficient. This collaborative effort from KCP&L, MGE and the Metropolitan Energy Center along with over 40 other local businesses features everything from solar panels to raised garden beds. We’ll start with a quick meeting followed by a tour of the home and it’s surrounding garden beds. After that, we’re taking the new Troost MAX south to BB’s Lawnside BBQ for lunch before heading back to Troostwood.
The PLP house is located at Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd. & Troost just west of Planned Parenthood. There is free parking available at the Discovery Center and Day Pass for the Troost MAX is available for $3.00. Please RSVP by calling 816-824-2902 or via email at Troostwood_kc@yahoo.com.
