COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

We seek to strengthen economies where we operate through our local hiring, investments in our operations and infrastructure, and contributions to non-profit organizations that help communities to develop and thrive. That means taking time to listen to local leaders and neighbors, understand the regions where we operate, and engage in partnerships that address community needs and create economic opportunity and inclusive social development.

By investing our time and resources in programs and initiatives that support the areas surrounding our operations where our employees live and work, we seek to advance our relationships with neighboring communities and promote mutually beneficial outcomes.

CURRENT INITIATIVES

2025:

Boys & Girls STEAM Learning Lab Grand Opening

1PointFive was mentioned by two local news outlets due to their support of academic enrichment and their help in creating a space for kids that encourages and fuels their educational interests.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

During construction, we estimate that thousands of people will be hired for various aspects of the build. The construction and operation of a DAC facility require a wide range of skill sets. During operations, we anticipate that hundreds of permanent jobs could be created.
