Plot twist: our roof is now a solar power plant. 🌞 We spent the last year replacing 500,000 sq ft of roof, airlifting 32 new HVAC units by helicopter (yes, really), and capping it all off with a solar install that turns our building into one of the most energy-forward venues on the West Coast. Now, those panels are generating enough clean energy to power around 700 Long Beach homes a year. All of it going straight back into the grid. Long Beach powers us. Now we power Long Beach back. 💛 Happy Earth Day LBC. #EarthDay #LongBeach
