Scott, Bradford, Webster: Nearly $1M coming to Norristown schools for clean-energy upgrades
Rep. Matthew Bradford July 21, 2026 | 11:31 AM
HARRISBURG, July 21 – Nearly $1 million in Solar for Schools funding will help advance major clean-energy upgrades at two Norristown Area School District buildings, state Reps. Greg Scott, Matt Bradford and Joe Webster, all D-Montgomery, announced today.
The funding supports rooftop solar installations at Norristown Area High School and East Norriton Middle School — projects designed to generate long-term utility savings, modernize facilities, and strengthen the district’s sustainability efforts.
“Investments in clean-energy solutions will have an impact well beyond the buildings themselves,” Scott said. “Lower utility costs mean more resources for students, classrooms and educational programs. We appreciate the support that made these projects possible and are excited for what they mean for our community moving forward.”
“These projects represent an important step forward in our collective effort for sustainable energy practices,” Bradford said. “By installing solar systems on both the high school and middle school rooftops, we’re making practical investments that reduce energy costs and support more efficient, future-ready facilities. Each installation will deliver significant annual savings, and together they move our region closer to a more stable, sustainable future.”
“This new funding empowers us to turn our rooftops into reliable sources of clean power and real-world learning,” Webster said. “The solar installations will lower utility spending, shrink our carbon footprint, and strengthen the resilience of our schools—freeing more dollars for instruction and student support.
“It’s a smart, measurable upgrade that benefits our classrooms today and invests in the community our students will lead tomorrow.”
