Future Projects being put together at the ATC

	Powering the landscape - Working in partnership with Calderdale Museums, this project will carry out an audit of all the mills in the Upper Calder Valley, with particular reference to the power used but also exploring the social economy and relating the information to the present and the future sustainability of the valley
	Electric Bicycle hire - Working with the National Trust, we developed a plan for an Electric Bike hire scheme which would run between the ATC, the train station and Gibson Mill. The project will also include a bike recycling facility.
	Valley Energy Project - In line with the demand for renewable energy (RE) which has emerged from the Rural Renaissance process, the ATC is working with partners to establish a valley energy strategy.
	Woodland action group This group was formed through the Rural Renaissance Initiative, as a project which had many crosscutting themes. The ATC brought the group together to help identify the potential for biomass opportunities in the area whilst ensuring that all parties work to a common plan.
