Will you be the one lucky survey participant to win $500? | Graphic by 6AM City
Happy New Year, Winstonians. To start the year off on the right foot, we need a little help from you.

Every morning, more than 31,000 of you welcome us into your inbox. And each day, we do our very best to provide you with timely, relevant information so you can get the most out of the city we call home.

We’re asking you to take two minutes to tell us a little more about yourself because the more we know about who you are, the better we can deliver information that you care about. Just two minutes. Feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer. We don’t want to pry. (Okay, we do, but for a good reason.)

We’ll be selecting one lucky survey participant to win $500. We’re rooting for you, Winston-Salem.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

— Kellina + Cambridge

Powering the future

City of Winston-Salem working to meet 100% renewable energy goal by 2050

The City of Winston-Salem is ramping up efforts to meet its 100% renewable energy goal by 2050. Part of the project includes a new 70-kilowatt system of solar panels installed on the roof of the Bryce A. Stuart Municipal Building located on East First Street. The solar install will offset about six percent of the building’s energy use.

The projected cost was $240,000, but after two solar rebates and an Inflation Reduction Act grant, the total cost came to ~$132,000. The project started in November 2023 and is expected to be complete this month. The new initiative will help preserve fossil-fuel resources and reduce pollution.

Sustainability Director Shaleen Miller said this project will be a catalyst to spur other businesses and entities to look into renewable projects. More evaluations of city buildings for future solar panel installation are in the works.
