“As we were preparing the Brea Energy Efficiency and Solar Power Project the concept of “Green Life, Green Brea” evolved organically. How appropriate! Realizing that as impressive and far-reaching that one big project might be, particularly at that moment in time, there was still going to be more to accomplish later.” -Brea City Manager, Tim O’Donnell
