Hub on the Hill wins grant for solar-run refrigerated truck

ESSEX — The Hub on the Hill is adding a new delivery vehicle, a
solar-powered, refrigerated truck.

The new equipment is being added through an Adirondack North Country
Association (ANCA) grant award from The Conservation Fund for Transporting
Healthy Foods, according to Josh Bakelaar, ANCA’s director of local
economies and agriculture.

“We are working to buy a vehicle with insulation already in place or to
insulate it, probably a used vehicle, and outfit it with the solar powered
refrigeration equipment,” he told the Sun.
