The City of Cape Canaveral, in collaboration with ESA, has announced the opening of the Culture, Arts, Preservation, and Enrichment Center (CAPE Center). Formerly Cape Canaveral’s first city hall, the CAPE Center is Brevard County’s sole municipally-owned recreational space dedicated to arts, history, and community engagement. The center now showcases environmental stewardship with a 25 kW rooftop solar array, LED lighting, water-efficient fixtures, and permeable concrete in its parking lot. Since activation in May 2023, the array has produced over 28,123.46 kWh of electricity, reducing carbon emissions by about 13 tons. The CAPE Center officially opened on March 30, 2024. ESA’s involvement ensured the building’s readiness for solar power and used the project for staff training.
