VISION 2030

What is PAREI VISION 2030? 

Vision 2030 is the place we want to be in the near future. In a few short years from now we see the opportunity to utilize our new long term home as a community resource base to further strengthen our local sustainable living programs. Our goal is to have a more robust membership and a new generation of engaged, active participants and workforce that are working together to be a successful part of our country’s transition to a low carbon renewable energy future.

PAREI is now in its 20th year. The success we have experienced is due to a membership that has a can-do attitude and a willingness to act and share ideas and experiment. By 2030, we want this community to thrive and grow even more than it has over the last 20 years.

Together we are building a more sustainable community in the tradition of neighbor helping neighbor. Join us!

Vision 2030; A New Home for PAREI, Move In Goal September 2023

Vision 2030 Phase One, Two and Three: Done! We completed the volunteer built Local Foods Pavilion in March 2023 and the two story office renovation in October, 2023.

The Opportunity (Vision)

PAREI’s new office, timber-framed pavilion (built by volunteers) and outdoor space is designed to be a long-term community resource center supporting PAREI’s community-driven solutions for energy education, solar energy, and local food sourcing. The pavilion was built for easier farmer drop-off and buyer pick-up of Local Foods Plymouth (LFP) purchases as well as facilitating the Farm to Community Food Share Program. The outdoor space will be used for PAREI’s community-focused educational gatherings, hands-on workshops, mini-farmers markets as well as Little Gardens Everywhere demonstration gardens.  The two story brick office building offers 1,650 square feet of usable interior space on two floors sufficient to support PAREI’s capacity-building goals outlined in the Board-approved 2020-25 Strategic Plan.
