But, having the keys doesn’t mean you’ll access the locked chest treasure trove of data. And there are ethical concerns. Opinions vary on cloud co

When Connections Adapt: SNAP’s Power of Connection and stories of partnerships

Trust. Comfort. Equal opportunity. These are the words that Amy, Sarah, and other neighbors used to describe the Spokane Neighborhood Action Partnership (SNAP) during the 2020 Power of Connection campaign. With over 50 years of stepping up to strengthen our community, SNAP’s footprints leave a roadmap of regional stories and support systems. With over 30 programs, there has never been a shortage of potential stories – the question has annually been how best to approach the unique opportunities and challenges of a given year. In 2020, everyone knows there was no shortage of challenges, either.

As a community organizer, a planner, and finally, a designer, she studied these factors in an attempt to bridge the gap between systems and individuals. And while governments offer

Navy's Steps to Demolish Its Last Coal Plant Lead to Energy Efficiencies

The demolition of the Goddard coal-fired power plant will save NSF $7.5 million each year, and more than 50 billion pounds of carbon emissions will be reduced annually. Constructed in 1957, the Goddard Power Plant generated steam, compressed air and approximately 67 percent of the electric power used at NSF Indian Head. With most plants having a service expectancy of 25 years, the Goddard Power Plant was past its due date, ultimately requiring frequent repair and maintenance that is costly and
