7Skyline’s Sydney Harper and Elizabeth Perez with the Tule River Economic Development Corporation and Tule River community today in the Central Valley, CA to celebrate an energy transition win for Indian Country! From the “Ride and Drive” event at the Eagle Feather Trading Post: “The Tribe installed the first heavy to medium duty vehicle drive through [electric vehicle charging] station in the Valley as a Tribe. It’s important to acknowledge that the Tribe is making history, it’s not just a ribbon cutting ceremony, it’s a ‘ribbon breaking’ moment that is paving the road that is cleaner for all of us - a healthier future for our people, and it’s the first of its kind for a Central Valley Tribe.” - Elizabeth Perez, NESCO CEO https://lnkd.in/gaxQcv7Z
