“Vita Nuova seeks to expand its work on the sustainable reuse of affected and underutilized sites by creating this strategic alliance with AC Power. We appreciate their focus on previously disturbed land rather than greenfields, ” said Michael B. Taylor, president of Vita Nuova.
Vita Nuova specializes in site renewal, land reuse planning and community revitalization. It serves public and private entities, rehabilitating industrial sites across North America and reopening them to redevelopment for new, economic uses.
AC Power has experience transforming brownfield sites, landfills and Superfund sites into solar energy facilities, connecting local power sources to communities and businesses. Its projects facilitate workforce development programs for local citizens, generate tax revenue and address site development issues.
“With the strategic vision and experience of Vita Nuova and the practical expertise of AC Power, this team will channel the momentum of the Inflation Reduction Act to reuse sites, empower communities and support the workforce development,” said Annika Colston, president and founder of AC Power. “We will do more together – more projects, more complex problem-solving, and more community benefits – thereby achieving the nation’s goal of environmental justice in America’s great energy transition.”
