The document summarizes a community forum held in Plattsburgh, New York to discuss aspirations and concerns for a proposed microgrid. Forum participants emphasized that the microgrid should: 1) serve the community by providing power to vulnerable residents and organizations during outages; 2) utilize renewable energy sources like solar and wind whenever possible; and 3) help critical institutions like the hospital and university maintain normal operations to aid disaster response and recovery efforts. There was consensus that the microgrid could improve resiliency for the city in the event of long term power disruptions.
