Legend, Thanksgiving Pt. sign deal

Thanksgiving Point and Legend Solar have signed a sponsorship agreement that will have the fast-growing solar energy provider install a 1,500-panel solar array on the development’s Museum of Ancient Life.

In a release, the two entities said the installation will provide a savings of $1.5 million in power bills during the lifetime of the panels, which is an estimated 60 percent of the current power usage of the museum.

“This agreement with Legend Solar creates a wonderful relationship with Thanksgiving Point,” said Mike L Washburn, CEO of Thanksgiving Point. “As we strive to better our property for guests, this relationship also allows us to soften our global footprint as well. We’re very excited to partner with Legend Solar.”

Highlights of the 10-year agreement include $2 million to support the mission of Thanksgiving Point, the renaming of the museum to the Museum of Ancient Life in the Legend Solar Building, mention of Legend Solar in Thanksgiving Point publications and social media and I-15 digital marquee recognition for Legend.

“As a clean energy company, Legend Solar is delighted to join in partnership with Thanksgiving Point as we educate people about the benefits of solar power,” said Shaun Alldredge, co-founder and co-owner of Legend Solar. “We are excited to help support Thanksgiving Point’s mission to ‘cultivate transformative family learning.’”
